Shadows of Fear

In the depths of hearts where shadows dwell,

Gamophobia weaves its silent spell.

A fear of commitment, love's tether tight,

Shrouds the soul in the dark of night.

From painful pasts where scars still ache,

Breakups, divorces, hearts left to break.

Abandoned dreams in childhood's hour,

Echoes of fear, like a withered flower.

In adulthood's realm, the fear persists,

Haunting whispers, clenched in fists.

Afraid to love, to trust, to bind,

In fear's embrace, hearts remain confined.

Yet amidst the fear, a glimmer gleams,

Hope's soft whisper, breaking through the seams.

For in the depths of fear's despair,

Lie the seeds of healing, waiting there.

With gentle hands and tender care,

The wounds of fear, they start to bear.

Through understanding, love's lost sight,

The path to healing, into the light.

With patience and grace, fears are faced,

In the tender embrace of love's sweet taste.

And as the walls of fear start to fall,

True connection blossoms, standing tall.

For in the heart's embrace, courage thrives,

Breaking free from fear's confining binds.

And in the end, what's left to see,

Is the beauty of love, wild and free.
