Devilish
Your greatest fear
Anonymous
<< post removed >>
I have Cancer and it scares me to death.....
Cancer
Lying here awake;
Listening to the silence;
Darkness engulfs me;
Singing a sinister lullaby;
To my weakened soul....
Sinister monsters of the night;
Ravage my earthly clothes;
Stripping.... Tearing;
All flesh from my bones;
Leaving alabaster stones....
A pit of darkness;
Calls me;
Slowly consumes me;
Poisoning the whole bloodstream....
Held captive;
Dark waters;
Running through my veins;
Some call it a cure;
Others call it Hell....
Left to embrace the darkness;
The monster runs rampid;
Biting and scratching;
Until the end....

You scared?
No...
Liar
I know...
But dreams can't last forever
As I thought once upon a time
When your heart held mine
Tears fell only to be wiped away
By your hand
Now gone
As I, breath in the lonely darkness
Of the room that was
At one point ours
But now mine alone
And you
Of course have gone
As only dreams do
Leaving me
Eye to eye
With my fear
Of life
Without you
No...

And you
Of course have gone
As only dreams do
Leaving me
Eye to eye
With my fear
Of life
Without you
are you there
are you not
i am in despair
cling to hope you exist
for i cannot reason my being
for an eternal oblivion i cannot accept
i call out
close my eyes
open my eyes and you are there
decorated with jewelry and gold
grin spread like the waning crescent moon
"i am but just a veil of your fears,
you never needed me nor ever will."
is he good
or is he bad
i am confused
what appeared, wasn't what i'd thought out to be
i sought, assumed a benignant presence
not a repulsive superficial entity
a test of faith, maybe?
again i call out, earnestly sincerely,
close my eyes
open my eyes and you are there
resembling features but in a poverty stricken state
carefree gap-toothed giggle
"i am but what you made out to be,
you never needed me nor ever will."

I fear that I'll end up
Just like her..
A bottle of jack
And undeterred..
I already lack sympathy
I've became well known to pot
I doubt myself to much
More often than not
I have her eyes
I have her smile
So I quit doing that
After a while..
She pushed people to the edge
Especially ones she loved..
And when she fell in..
She crashed from above..
So I have a fear..
One like no other..
I fear that I may
End up just like my mother..
Just like her..
A bottle of jack
And undeterred..
I already lack sympathy
I've became well known to pot
I doubt myself to much
More often than not
I have her eyes
I have her smile
So I quit doing that
After a while..
She pushed people to the edge
Especially ones she loved..
And when she fell in..
She crashed from above..
So I have a fear..
One like no other..
I fear that I may
End up just like my mother..
My greatest fear most of all,
above the spiders and blood splattered on the wall,
above deep water and above all height,
something gives me the biggest fright,
the thought of disappointment,
apparent in your eyes,
the idea that I could not get,
the very best of our lives,
my incredible son, my little boy,
if I ever fail to buy that toy,
if I ever fail to be a dad,
that can help you through the good and bad,
my greatest fear, I will meet,
I will kneel at fear's feet,
so believe in Daddy, cos I know,
that fear will always be alone.

My Funeral
Silence.
The splashing of a tear could be heard
But there are none
Just a roomful of empty chairs
And a wasted life
Silence.
The time is now to remorse the past
Yet no one does
Because who wants to remember
Such a wasted life
Silence.
There lies the used up container of
A tortured soul
But it’s friends went on living
Since it wasted life
Silence.
In my newest home I was waiting
For untold goodbyes
But there’s just a roomful of empty chairs
And my wasted life
Silence.
The splashing of a tear could be heard
But there are none
Just a roomful of empty chairs
And a wasted life
Silence.
The time is now to remorse the past
Yet no one does
Because who wants to remember
Such a wasted life
Silence.
There lies the used up container of
A tortured soul
But it’s friends went on living
Since it wasted life
Silence.
In my newest home I was waiting
For untold goodbyes
But there’s just a roomful of empty chairs
And my wasted life
