I May Crumble

I may crumble from quiet fear
that somehow showed right now, right here.
I sense stirrings of potent ache.
I cannot bear that we may break.
This nightmarish foe may not near.

How dark formed is in no way clear.
While we embraced, bad vibes appeared.
If we don’t fight for our love’s sake,
I may crumble.

To this sad fate we never steered.
We must deny it any tear.
I’d rather final pills to take.
Coiled in our garden is a snake.
Should we lose all we now hold dear,
I may crumble.
