Fear rises up through haze and history
Ask me what I cannot tell you
You chipped at the ice encasing me
Feelings tumble from my lips, uncensored
I fling them outward, unthinking
Uncaring of their trajectory
Now I am afraid of their landing
Will they fall softly, lightly welcomed
Caught by a heart ready for my utterances
Or will they damage a fragile bond
As if you are their only target
Through the haze of history my words run
My fears manifest become your pain
Unknowingly twist both our souls
Expressions unrestricted by walls we battered
Will our hearts survive, I wonder
Do you wonder too
