There is a word beginning with G,
that takes the breath out of me.
This 7 lettered word I dread to hear,
as with all of my being this word I fear.

So many times love's let me down,
causing tears to fall from this clown.
Creating hairline cracks in my soul,
preventing my from loving as I fear to fall.

Into loves arms just once more,
craving the feeling that someone can adore.
This kindred spirit that makes me,
want far more than the eye can see.

Living in a better place but still this word I dread,
for I know the second it's heard many tears I'll shed.
It seems so final and makes me blue,
maybe I could handle TTFN or toodleloo?

But yet this word helps a wall build around me,
as I retreat to backing away from anyone that I see.
Convincing myself they'll only do the same,
so I am dubious to play this game.

That was when I was low,
when I wasn't sure which way to go?
By people I love this term I have heard,
that's why I fear THE G WORD!!!
