How can I love when I'm afraid to fall.

I'll swim farther from the shore; Drowning, sinking deeper in the chilling, inviting abyss. I wake up. Maybe I've been here; my mind clouding up. I'm thinking desperately. I'm running out of time and your smiling face doesn't fade. Melting, dripping with hope, I see a puddle of me in the mirror. Invite me into your hoping, resting arms. I stab myself to death softly again. Our love is like the seasons, but it always dies in the winter. Our bodies lay motionless in the snow, but here I am again. It's all too much a flashback. Remind me to forget the last time this prevailed. When love used to be the gentle rise of our chests synchronizing in thoughtful rhythm. When life was the fuel to keep us running alive, full speed ahead. Remind me dear, when life was the clearest star-filled night, painting pictures into our minds. I'll settle to keep you forever in my arms. If I could, my clutch would never recede and our love would never bleed. <3 I love writing.
