Confessions of A Desperately Sick Heart

Take me to a place,
Where I could not cry, even if I try...
That would be a place,
Where tears freeze, even before they traverse my cheeks...

Take me to a place,
Where there's no pain and no sorrow...
That would be a place,
Where my smiles are genuine, and I look forward to tomorrow...

Take me to a place,
Where I would not have to hide in fear...
That would be a place,
Where I can be myself and nobody would bother...

But I long most for the place,
Where I would be afraid to love you...
That would be the place,
Where I would not fear your rejection,
Nor would I hide in fear of being discovered,
Nor would my heart break, never to recover.
Nor would my tears fall in vain...
