Shaking My Nerve

I always tremble like a leaf

When I think someone has to leave,

I don't know how would I behave,

I've to know anew how to live.

You'll hear my whistle in the dark

When somebody has to depart,

Certainly, it will break my heart,

I don't know how much will it hurt.

For my heart will be missing a beat

With the mere thought of someone's death,

I would break out in a cold sweat,

Don't really want to think of it.

It will be my greatest nightmare,

A story I don't want to hear,

As I'm not yet ready to bear

The deepest ocean of my tear.

So I am working on this,

To refuse those heebie-jeebies,

And those goosebumps will be erased

To receive the plaque of braveness.

Hence, gradually I have to gain,

Some courage to boost my within,

To stop jumping out of my skin,

When the tale of leaving flirts again.
