1. I Fear

Notes:
Just feelings that often visit me, written in the form of poems.

I fear all things that live within this world,
And even light itself I cannot bear.
I fear that dawn will claim my life unfurled,
And leave me carrying emptiness through air.
These lines are not of life, nor meant to be;
This life itself was never built for us.
I fear myself before the night sets free,
I fear what shadows in the dark discuss.
I tremble for myself, for all who stay, who near,
I fear to scare, I fear to fall below,
I fear to glance at houses drifting by so near,
I fear a Universe too generous.
I do not want to lose the one I dearly love,
Nor bear the sight of tears upon your face.
I fear you too, beloved, and the shove
That drives a final nail into our fragile place.
A fading bird will rise to flight,
And crimson fire will scatter from its hands.
I fear the blood—hell’s burning bright…
I fear I’ll die on ruin’s altar, as it stands.
