Diluted By Fear

Don’t ever question my love for you As I will forever question myself Could I have been stronger And held onto your adoration? Letting your love fill me up Flowing through me like warm water Seeping into all the hidden crevices I created for myself Sheltering my heart with walls That simply melted in your hands Like the finest sugar The stickiness clinging to your fingertips Only now do I see that I censored myself for your consumption While the heart melted, melded into yours The soul was still fear’s cowering prisoner The memories I have of you Will soon be replaced by Anger, Sadness, Loneliness, Fear Because there is no you The vast nothing that consumes me Is all I have left I am merely a shell, housing emptiness Diluted by fear
