I love some hearts, but they turn away,
The ones who love me, never stay.

I want to choose, but fate decides,
With those I like, love often hides.

I fear to love, I fear to lose,
I fear the pain I can’t refuse.

I long for life without this fear,
But then I see, it brings things clear.

Without the dark, the light feels small,
Without the pain, joy means nothing at all.

I can’t live with fear, can’t live apart,
It lives with me, deep in my heart.

This is the truth, the constant fight,
Between the love I want and the fear of night.
