Fear

and when you think you’re the only one cold
cold inside, shivering with uncertainty,
on the other side of the world,
one shivers the same time you do.

could it be a twin? a long lost survivor?
endless thoughts of wonderings
what if, what if, what if?
you could never know unless you’re an angel

death is around the corner
you are more likely to meet it
there are no ends and go-arounds
you are afraid, afraid of the inevitable

you cling fast and hold on tight
never letting go of the light
desperate need, seeking
reassurance is fleeting

heart starts racing
you can’t help it
you cannot control your life
you will have to live with it
not knowing what’s at the end of the rainbow
