but not like god scares me
or how empty beer bottles scare me
or how the people I love scare me
it didn't scare me like the devil does
or how my fathers voice does
or how the empty walls of this house do
the pale faces scare me
nostalgia scares me
forgotten words scare me
and teeth breaking phrases
like I love you or let's just be friends or I hope someday we end up together
scare me
I'm scared of the creatures in my mind and under my bed
of the people who forgot what to live for
scared of moving to kentucky
and scared of kentucky moving to me
scared of the smell you left on my shirt and how I'll never be able to wash it out
scared of the delicate flower you planted in my heart and how it keeps growing as I keep missing you
scared of how much I love you and how much you love her
scared that you're telling her the same things you told me
nothing can be as scary as that.
Oh woah. This whole thing is quotable and it flows so well. Loved reading it.
