Lethargy

Nodding off into nothingness, my brain is numb.
I fight a terrible battle within my soul; A battle of emotion.
To love so strong, hoping the instincts are right.
To fear so much, that what they say comes true.
Emotions running so deep, so jagged, so overflowing...
The brain shuts down to prevent overdrive.
What I've been told. Thoughts causing fear :
Do I truly know you? Do I truly know my own heart? Am I truly ready for this? Are you truly over your past? Am I truly ready to move on from mine?
What my instincts tell me. Thoughts causing love :
The way you love me. The way you talk to me. The openness I feel from you. The sharing, giving, caring of your being. Your own faith in me, when I have none to give myself.
A battle, the winner determined only by the physical meeting of you and I.
