Kissing Fear

Fear is a constant companion,

Always there when everything else is gone.

Holding me tight,

In an unwanted embrace.

 

We both feel the same,

wanting another's company.

So here we sit,

In a darkened room,

All alone.

 

Hated fear is,

but loneliness,

a scarier thought.

 

I starve for someone's thoughts,

crave another's touch,

but I have burdens none wish to bare.

So fear is there,

just another weight.

 

Sounds of woe,

hope nothing but a show.

Fear I now cling to,

nothing else left to hold.

Now with no choice,

mind made up.

I close my eyes,

and kiss fear.

This is so deep and amazing Victoria! Many do not know you have Asperger's syndrome. This is an intimate look inside of the complex antiquities the minds suffers. The path of one trapped in fear. To hold close that witch if so faithfully there…FEAR. You are amazing and I love everything you write, but this my dear, is amazing because of the twisted deapth held tight within the web of words you spin!
"Fear a constant companion,

No one may ever know, just how true and deep your words hold true!
I love you and you my dear are my hero!

I definitely felt the fear of loneliness all the way through this poem, you described it perfectly! “Fear a constant companion always there when everything else is gone’! Love “now with no choice I close my eyes and kiss fear” beautifully haunting and very well written.

This is beautiful. The language flows like dark silk, and imagery is great. The message in this is very true. Great piece!

This was beautifully haunting, it shows the hidden fear most do not express. This was written well, the flow was a great addition to the poem. Wonderful work

[Laura Maidah]

That's pretty intense (and you stressed that element even more putting that music on), it is very expressive and ... don't worry, we all feel like that at least once, even when we don't want to admit it, we're constantly looking for someone else, as people, we are physically unable to stay alone.

[michael.c.m]

a very deep piece, this, and well-spoken.

[Riley]

Very good poem. It definitely gives me a chill and takes me back to a place where I was at one point. It's amazing how well you captured the intensity that I once felt. 100/100

I love how you have delivered this "fear" you have made it something beautiful in the way you have written, shared, described.. I like it alot :) and the ending , perfect "kissing fear" give the dark some hope I feel and makes it strong.

[Reeti]

It's a v rich poem with truth written all over it. You've given a precise and accurate description of this abstract feeling we call fear, when it has a powerful grip on our minds. I agree with Melody. A meticulous explanation has been given in your verse in the most natural way possible. The psychological dilemma has been vividly denoted here. No wonder we call it 'the inner demons'. And, it all goes so well with the rhyming. Bravo!

[Just Listen]

I could feel the fear. Great write
