116: Stuck In The Headlights

It’s insidious
This thing inside
If I’d left it there
Hope would have died;

Withered away
By fretting and worry
Feverish thoughts
Turning wheels in a hurry.

But I tracked you down
I sought you out
Now I know
What this is all about.

I trusted my emotions
For they are true
I listened to them
And they led me to you.

I uncovered the fear
Deep inside
Attached to the knowledge
That you were trying to hide.

You’re running scared
I can feel it, I know
You feel unprepared
Stuck in the headlights, aglow.

Do you run towards me
And face your fears
Or disappear into the shadows
No longer here.

So let’s cut the lights

While we adjust to the new
And try and work out
If there’s a me and you.
