Clinging To Fear

Bastante, por favor! 
(Enough please!)
I'm tired of worrying
where you are among the trees. 

Fear consumes my soul 
when you fly away so long.
I wonder if your flirting
or just tweeting a new song. 

I conjure up all kinds of thoughts
that mess with my brain.
If you'd please just stay with me
when it's pouring rain.

In return for reassurance 
I promise not to nag.
Compromise is what we need,
I'll fly beside you and not lag. 

I tend to cling to everything
especially my sweet you. 
It's only if you disappear
I'd know not what to do.

Good use of imagery here. The sense of fear is right there in the words. A good write.
