People affraid of people

A lot would say they are not as they find it easy enough to speak and perform all the gestures that pass for interaction these days
But no one really opens up
Are they affraid of who that person is or of who they are themselves?
Do we all live by the question "Is it worth the risk?"
The risk of pain?... Pain?
We use to adventure as kids
We use to jump from the trees and graze our knees!
Some kids grow to learn how to tuck and roll
Other kids simply stop climbing the tree
and which kid, may i ask, is you?

Too Little or Too Late?

Is it preference or duty that holds her?
Is it love or understanding that lets go of him?
The numb grows quicker each time
Will there be anything left of him after this?
"Aaaaanswers on a post card for your chance to win a one night stand!"
...It’s the hope that keeps him stupid
She constantly repeats to herself “Stay with those who are easy to leave”
He sits still and eventually whispers calmly “I’m O.K to sink”

It was you in the water

He felt so good to be down.
So nervous. He read what he had written for her and smiled.
Folded it up four times and left it under a glass in the bar.
Maybe he hoped it would help or at least bring a smile to some other poor soul.
it wasn't the adrenaline that kept me warm in the water, it was you.
