my fear

Some people are afraid
of spiders,
of the night,
of the things hiding in the dark.

But me?

I'm afraid of the things
you find in the light.

Of love.

Imagine loving someone so deeply
they become stitched into your life—
into your memories,
into the person you are.

Imagine giving them your heart slowly,
piece by piece,
trusting them with every fragile part of you,

only to one day hear them say
they no longer feel the same.

Imagine building a life beside someone,
waking up every morning believing
you are loved,

only for them to wake up one day
and decide
they no longer love you at all.

What could possibly be more terrifying than that?
