A Journey of Friendship

Lingering Fears

You let me climb the mountain

but I couldn't see the view.

Something blocked my sight.

Walls enveloped my mind,

I didn't want to hurt.

Holding the memories tight.

Hearing from you again,

it gives me some satisfaction,

that it wasn't all a lie.

Sometimes it's easy to slip

back into the past.

Setting feelings alight.

Yet linger does the fear

of what you did to me,

Of what made me take flight.

Climbing over the barrier

is harder than it seems,

but climb I must try.
