IT SCARES ME

By Sheila Mumbo

It scares me, more than anything else,
When I can feel you slip through my fingers,
Just like sand at the ocean shores,

It scares me more than anything else,
When I can see the coldness in your eyes,
Cutting through your voice,

It scares me, more than anything else
When I can’t touch you anytime I see you,
Because you are so distant with me

It scares me, more than anything else,
That one day you may not want me,
And it’s my biggest fear.
