The Fear of Uncertainty

Borrow us a pilgrimage back to a time,
When the barn was our home...
     Then; Adunni's beauty wasn't her doom
Today, Responsibilities hound me away from promises...the treaties I made
                    That I won't ever leave your shadows, how much more you.
                Let us run through circus, for cosmic molecules we are, 
Shattering imaginations and love, and then lies too
    Now on that pendulum, I watch my tomorrow, 
       Wide mouth agape, for fear of troubles and:
considerably more penury!!!
Timor Mortis conturbate me, my maker; and
Like Catherine in Heathcliff's eyes, 
Everywhere I turn, I see their ghosts, with justifications why they shouldn't have ended up with me...
           We aren't losers, but strugglers of time and uncertainty; I hope you hear me, lad!!!!
                      And;
Now I understand what responsibilities mean...

Itunumi-Solace
For love and lies.
