It's the fear that's so thick and black like tar.
It's the fear that's so vast and deep like the ocean.
It's the fear that I can't outrun even though I've tried.
It consumes my every being, clawing its way deep into my soul.
It clings to my heart strings as it toys with my thoughts and words.
I try to speak up but this fear....
Demolishes every woe.
Every sorrow.
Its gravity is too strong to shatter.
Too impenetrable to pierce its thick darkness.
It eats my words.
My thoughts.
My opinions.
My feelings.
Oh, how it makes me angry.
How it drives me mad.
But... I can't shake it.
The thought...of losing you.
That's what it wants.
And I give in.
No hesitation.
No uncertainty.
All because...the fear wraps itself around my heart.
It suffocates my voice as I try to speak up to you. The fear of losing you and the fear of speaking up breaks me down. Each brick at a time. Crumbling till there's nothing but pebbles left.
Until there's no love left.
No... anything.
An empty vessel stands before you. Cracked and fragmented from the fear that has let it consume it. It has no feelings. No opinions. No thoughts. It stands there. As if waiting... for something.
It wears a solitude expression like a mask. And its eyes a blank stare. It stands there. It looks on. As it waits...for something. For anything.
