My Fear

I do not fear clowns, fire, or heights,

I do not even fear death because I've experienced it enough,

But even trying with all my might, I still fear love.

 

Letting someone in on my past mistakes,

Who I used to be,

All of my memories is all it takes,

And that is what scares me.

 

You say you'll never leave,

That we will be tgether forever,

And you don't want me to be afraid of having a lover.

 

I start to believe,

I let you know who I am,

You tell me you love me and i don't believe its a scam.

 

Then one day i come home,

My news not good to hear.

I'm sick and i know im dying,

my end is very near.

 

It spread from head to toe,

There was nothing we could do,

but you stayed, so now i know,

That I have fallen in love with you.

 

I now have faced my fear,

but I fear something new.

We know my time is here,

but now, I fear to lose you.

I wrote this poem while i was waiting for my doctors appointment. Ever since i found out i have to have surgery i have been really afraid of losing the one that i love. so i wrote this for him but put a little twist on the diagnosis.
