Poem for Her

When the alcohol runs through my blood I feel it

When the thought of you and I not working out runs through

Can it keep running

We both know we love

But will true love be enough when temptation a rises

Same things go on but will the fear of losing you keep and turn me into someone I know I’m not

Will I want to trap you for just mine, for only mine

Or has it all been too long and not enough or was this all too soon and will I end up losing you

I can handle not having you but I need to know that there is something solid

But the fears of there being sneaky “You and I’s” are a no go for me

I can’t seem to handle a truth that may lie in my future

Cause the fear of losing you is real

Real love, real heart, real soul bleeding, beating for you

Can our love be overlooked or will it be turned into something we both never thought was possible

As my heart beats I fear the imaginable, of cheats, of cheers, of fucks

When the alcohol runs through my blood i feel it

When the thought of you and I not working out runs through

Can it keep running

We both know we love

But will true love be enough when temptation arises

Is my heart fearing it all wrong, or pushing away for no reason

Over analyzing and over fearing

But having the strength for it all to process and grow

If it all came to an end I maybe never give it all another chance
