Fear
By Laura
April 20, 2016
All these echoes floating in my mind
Constantly reminding me of much better times
I'm so afraid that I'm slowly going blind
How long to the place where words never rhyme?
How long until my time finally runs out?
Relief is scaring me in the face of decline
Sometimes I hate the fact that now I'm standing out
I'm scared of the day these hateful stares cross the line
My ego is too big for me to see how good it could be
The depth of every kiss and everything I'll miss
The sun is shining now but I'm drowning in these memories
They don't belong to me. I never felt a shred of bliss
Through blood shot eyes I practice perfect allibis
Singing lullibies that exorcise the former me and dated lies
It's crippling; the way the sea keeps rolling over me
But if I hold my breath just long enough; I may just find a reason why
