I guess it’s just the price I pay <br />For everything that’s haunting me <br />The cost of all your love for me <br />Might be what pushes me away. <br /> <br />How do I fight the fear inside, <br />The gift of my last cruel lover <br />A pain so great that I must suffer, <br />To have you here, close at my side. <br /> <br />For if I give my heart to you <br />I give the whip to lash my hide <br />As did the last who was my pride <br />I won’t survive that pain renewed. <br /> <br />I guess it’s just the price I pay <br />A price that I can not ignore <br />I'll fight the fear of hearts so sore, <br />It will be worth it if you stay.<br /><br />Warren Augustus de Guzman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/getting-back-on-the-horse/
