My fear
I was afraid, not of the dark,
But the obscure nature behind the mask.
I was afraid, not of the crowd,
But the lacuna of you being one of them.
I was afraid, not of losing you,
But losing myself in the clouds of blue.
I was afraid, not of diving in the depth,
But being left alone at the surface.
I was afraid, not of hurting you,
But of the grief you will face and the mirror I'll hold infront you.
I was afraid,not of your absence,
But of the oblivion, of the feeling of nothingness.
I was afraid, not of the height I was on,
But the pain of falling apart.
As I was never afraid of you,
But in you resided all my fears.
