I wanted to run to you.

I wanted to climb into your embrace

And never,

Ever look back.

But fear of love over took me.

My heart mistrusts

Itself.

Disdain of me, myself and I

Remind me I am unworthy.

They take turns arguing in my head.

So here I stand

In the rain.

One beat.

Two beats.

My heart beating,

Calling your name.

The sound of my

Own

Tears

The only

Reply.
