Every Fear

Somewhere in the darkness I fear
something not quite natural draws near
is it an untimely death
stealing away my last breath
or is it something that's already here

No one can tell me what it is and why
I fear it when I know everyone will someday die
only I still shudder at the very thought
that I will end in pain although I had fought
and down I lay in dirt and moss, going out in lamented sigh
