Carly Larkin Poet Rhyme

Cold Sweats and Tears

I woke in a debilitating fright- 

Cold sweats and tears; 

Night after night- 

My subconscious played on my fears. 


It wasn't short lived... 

In fact, it went on for years.. 


The fear was undoubtedly real 

As was the pain; 

I begged it to yield, 

But still it remained. 


I had sought an escape, 

From what had seemed to me-

As my irrefutable fate;

But oftentimes I'd been too late.
