Holding Me Back

So tough to see past the heartaches you caused.
How can one carry that burden too long?
All the ugliness, bitterness she feels for you,
Evokes such emotions that run over, rule over,
Saddens her, wearies her, buries her.

So I’m holding back because I am afraid.
The scars of her past, they dig down too deep.
Maybe when you heal you will change your mind.
Hope it’s not too late for us to be together.
Saddens me, wearies me, buries me.

I really feel you and it makes me wonder.
How can one I barely know win me over?
Your life does not get the better of me.
Only your fear and mine will see our end.
Saddens us, wearies us, buries us.
