What I Fear Most
Things You Can't Say Out Loud Challenge
As I watch him walk away
The scream inside me claws
Threatening to explode
The things I would never say
I love you, I need you,
Please choose me
What does she have
Something I don't
He turns for one last smile
Can he see it on my face?
Do I want him to?
This time I turn away first
Unwilling to watch him leave again
Knowing it hurts, breaks, haunts
The fear that he'll know
The pain that he doesn't
I love you, I need you,
Please choose me
What does she have
Something I don't
What I fear the most
That he'll find out
He'll pity me, ruin me
Break me apart in pain
Is losing him worth the knowing?
The heartbreak? The fear?
As he walks off to her
My heart screams out
I love you, I need you,
Please choose me
What does she have
Something I don't
