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!

Fear is definitely felt throughout this poem. Especially the fear of being alone.

I like. I can't say much more cause I'm so amazed at the insight here, but I like.

This is most certainly a profound understanding of fear and lonliness, two emotions which are very close to eachother. Most fear that exists is fear of one's self or fear of being so alone. That being said, this is quite deep and plays on the darkness of someone scared.

Consider the benefits. It's a good thing to feel in so many occasions. It means you care. It heightens you. Some people even seek it.

Much to think about :) Thanks for sharing this, very interesting. Oh, and love the piano beat. Might have to listen to that for a while more... :P

Love it, it's so dark in its meaning but it really does mean something. I think it's safe to say that everyone has been in that place of "kissing fear" somewhere in dark times....
Keep on writing!

[bob, small b. aka invs]

there is a school of thought that thinks we must embrace things which hurt us in order to move on. so, if darkness is your fear, you embrace the night, taking it back. owning it. it seems that's what you're describing here. acknowledging your fear, realizing it's going to stay with you for now, and making peace with it. i don't know if that really works, but it looks good on paper. very nicely written.

Hard to be in a place where the walls are falling down. The poem told a sad story.
"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."
Some decision open new doors and close old one's forever. Hard decisions. I like the video. Added to the emotion of this poem. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

This is beautiful! That dark and sad dance that we all do with fear from time to time; You've captured those feelings in your words. Great writing!
