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!

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

Great poem. I loved the atmosphere it created. I feel the same way as well. I long for the comfort and touch of someone. No one wants to deal with my problems. I have told so many people my problems but all have brushed it off and said to deal with them myself, theyre my problems. It leaves me in a very lonely world with no friends and no hope of finding love. Sorry for blabbing on. Great poem

P.S bare is spelt bear

Victoria, wow, what a deep and wonderful poem, I'm in awe of your writing skills.
You just did embraced fear, as you kissed it. In your ending sentence. You're so brave. You are so wise, and intelligent. It's hurting me, as I have a good bound with your mom, and I can feel your hurts. But honey, this is an amazing write. You're not afraid to face it. And it shall make you stronger in the end. I can only say girl, keep that ink flowing, I am reading, because you're so worth it.
