If I Found You Poem by Annie Cordelia Adams

i looked for inspiration
so i tore out a picture of you
and i'm so scared to find you
that i don't know what i'd do

if i found you waiting on a subway train
my heart would stop and the underground would rain
if i found you waiting near the woodland trees
i'd run from you in the autumn breeze
it's never been easy
it won't be easy
to let you in

i barely smile now
i think i knew somehow
what it was that turned the sky yellow
and made the blue stars find my veins

cause i'm frozen over
it's been so long since i've moved the covers
hiding from the arrow of a lover
so i'm under cover

it's never been easy
it won't be easy
to let you in

it's never been easy
it won't be easy
to ever let you in
