Perish Again

I chose not to speak my heart,
for I was too afraid for the consequences,
and between my apprehensions
and delirious being,
I often died many deaths
though hope resurrected me
but my perturbations
made me perish again

  2. Not to speak your heart? You pay for it my friend!! You pay like no one should ever pay!!

  3. Beautifully written and transparent. These are the actual thoughts of apprehension when it comes down to communicating in a relationship. A social demise…

  4. The pleasure is all mine.
    I enjoy reading the words you write and the content of your work. The content of your work is so intriguing, through it you have a unique way in which you reveal your passion and experiences.

  5. Hmm, I like this. How often do we choose not to speak our heart because we’re afraid of the consequences. From all the comments it looks like this rang true to a lot of people.
