Fears

What do I have left to fear?
 My fears are not my own,
for you have become all my nightmares
 you; who was once all I'd ever known.
You became the living embodiment, of all my worst nightmares
 you too became all the things I'd never wish come true
the poison of man's greatest gift,
 so what do I feel when it's in you?
For you are my every fear
 when you walk out the door
and your last words hang in the air
 "you were nothing to me but a whore."
Where'd you do, will you come home?
Tell me, what do I have left to fear
 when they've all come true
because you are no longer here.

Hmm, the loss of a true love can be very painful indeed! And so can thoughtless and amissful words spoken! "Hello Precious, Priceless & Beautiful Madison Thomer!!!":):)~I hope that "Your" day was much brighter for "You" then this heartfelt write here dear lady!!? And, I doubt very seriously, that "You" are anything less than wonderful and beautiful within countless ways!!?:):)....Cont....
