Fear of the Known

For all those years we’ve been together,

I knew we’d part ways, one way or another.

But I had the audacity to dream of a life,

A life We’d spend together, without any strife.

But now that fate has torn us apart,

Why is it so difficult for me to depart?

Why is there anxiety, why does my heart pain?

Why do I feel like a part of me is slain?

I shall cherish forever, those moments we spent,

I can’t help but remember, all those times you gave me strength.

But I have to let you go, for now you’re not my own,

I have to face this fear, this fear of being left alone.

I was given a choice, of spending my life with you,

But I let my fears conquer,  I chose to abandon you.

I’m haunted night and day, by dreams I've had blown,

For I cannot face reality, I am captured by the fear of the known.
