Fade


I'm afraid
So afraid
That one day your love for me will fade away
As the Fall fades into Winter
Growing oh so lonesome cold
I cannot help my fear your love may fade

I'm so scared
Just so scared
That the day will pass your kisses come no more
My heart would shrivel up and die
In the absence of your kiss
And all my life would be so bleak and bare

I feel fear
In me fear
That your fondness for my heart will one day leave
As when the sun parts from the sky
Leaving all the land in night
So would my heart be lost in just such dark

My heart dreads
Darkly dreads
That I will one day lose your respect for me
For if you turned your trust from me
I would agonize within
Until I lost the hope and will to live

I'm afraid
Just afraid
That the day will come your love for me would fade
For if it faded so would I
And my heart grow dark and numb...
I pray your love will never fade from me

I like this very much. There is something to be said about repetition...a certain "I'm here" quality about it...a certainty in and of itself, perhaps...

thank you...

(big hugggssssss) Oh Erin, with a beautiful heart like yours, who would ever want not to love you? (sigh) You have such a lovely heart that deserves to be loved eternally! (sigh) Always believe in yourself, and say to yourself "I love myself, and just know I will love eternally, as he will love me!". (sigh) My heart is with you, sweet friend! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Erin, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

wornways,
I like this poem. But don't let your fears take what you already have.
