Dread Love Affair

I appear to have a fondness of dread, Only cause it lives in my head. It keeps banging against my skull, All of my senses get dull. My heart beating like a wind up toy, I'm a slave to the background noise. Tunnels cloud my eyes, I cant even hear my own cries. I can never pinpoint the fear, But it’s floating in my atmosphere. it surely cant be long now, Till the curtain calls for me to take a bow. It lurks round the corners of my mind, Leaving me weak and blind. Train barreling on through, Even though the sky appears to be blue. I could carry on and fake a smile, But then I feel like my actions are on trial. And my breath gives way, I can't hear, what'd you say? You wonder why I am fond of dread, It protects me from thoughts in my head. Otherwise I guess I’m insane, Cause there's no logical reason in my brain. I have a love affair with dread And the wedding is coming up ahead The first dance same as the last Screaming “I don't” until it’s passed

Wow Wendy. This one makes you wonder what that dread is. Could it be anxiety or some other trial in life? Regardless it's a great right! Welcome to PS Wendy :)
