Fear Thy Love

Love never comes without fear

The fear of losing before winning

Fear of darkness, fear you disappear

Love, my Beautiful Darling

 

Love is fear and fear is life

Fear you’ll never be my wife

When you’re my life, heart and soul,

My love, unconditional

 

I shouldn’t have looked at your Gorgon eyes

Because you’re the one whose gaze petrifies

The scared little boy whose heart wasn’t brave

For which you made him your eternal slave

 

But I had to look at your Gorgon eyes

And let your poisonous charm enter my vein

I’m now stoned in Medusa’s paradise

Unable to move, yet still feeling pain

 

Such is my harsh damnation

My eternal frustration

For I didn’t see your love,

My Darling, my Little Dove

 

Modesty took over me

You were simply too pretty

You were too good to be true

So I couldn’t make it through

 

Not living love is one thing

It’s even worse not knowing

If you ever cared for me

It’s too late, but now I see

 

Whether you don’t believe me

Or you are punishing me

Or you are living the fear

That again it ends in tear

 

Should I really give you up

As I did when I shouldn't

When I thought our time was up

Is today any different?

 

See, I tried to kill my love

To become the Loving Dead

Everything I’d rise above

I burnt my heart, not my head

 

But see my Love, here you are

In my heart AND in my head

Despite all the time I’ve bled

And you’ll never close the scar

 

It's only when I met you

That I saw what love can do

I stared at those Gorgon eyes

I couldn’t do otherwise

 

I fed on your beauty Like a vampire on blood

And I drowned in a flood Of am’rous eternity

 

You’re the Devil of my soul, and I am the Loving Dead

 

My Love, my Darling, please free me

Whether in pieces or wholly

I am yours to do what you please

But do not leave me in tears

 

For twenty years I’ve been stone

By fear that truth would be cold

The truth I feared to unfold

That never I’d see the dawn

 

The dawn of our life, our love

Married to my Little Dove,

My Beautiful, my Darling,

Who can end my suffering

This is far from being perfect, but I am still proud of a few lines and of the depth of my emotions. I keep editing a few words from time to time.

This reminds me so much of someone that I currently love, and it sounds so much like something he would say if he would write to me again. You write remarkably beautiful for someone who believes that this is no where near perfect. Your word choice and the smoothness of this piece immediately caught my attention, and it pulled my heart in without a moment's hesitation. This was incredibly beautiful and it almost had me crying. You did an amazing job. Don't ever stop writing.

oh my god...I can relate to it so much! so quoting some lines:
" he could bear everything..from the various epitaphs placed on him…to brutal rejections and deceit…but was afraid…afraid of her ever holding his hand and letting it go sometime…could take a thousand cruel slashes to his heart and mind…ha-ha!!Not even one her...he feared his love for her...that deep attachment that stems from roots unknown...But an attachment none the less, that overwhelms any semblance of mortal strength he might have…with an terrifying intensity....!!!!!!!!!"
I know you can relate to these lines...thank you so much for sharing this...l
