I never knew fear until I met you.
Your true nature was camouflaged by a front of charm and charisma.
But I know better now…

I never knew true hurt until I met you.
Your face haunts my dreams; an indescribable menace that lurks around every corner.
I am a bit broken now…

I never knew trepidation until I met you.
The sight of you creates a nauseas feeling in the pit of my stomach.
I wonder if I will ever be able to feel normal again…
