I am afraid of two things in this world; to let myself love, and to hurt someone I might care for. All I'm left with is a depressing state of loneliness. Sadness.
In brief moments I can feel a gentle flutter in this empty void. As if the bird caged up within are trying to break out. Then, again, sadness. A feeling of being crushed, like someone is standing on your shoulders, pressing on your chest, your stomach. The throat tightens up. If only you could cry, get it out of your system, but you can't. You don't cry.
I really relate to this feeling of fearing hurting the one you care about. It has just come to pass for me in the relationship I just ended. I know it was for the best, as keeping it going would only have promised her more pain in the long run. I had already caused her so much pain by that point. And yet she still loves me, even if I don't know if I am capable of love, if I even believe in it.
