I was so afraid, needlessly so.
I couldn’t reach you, didn’t know.
My heart was hurting,  pounding.
My gut was sickly churning.

They still are.

Every time I ever lost someone
Seems I was always  the last
I was never the first to go
I hate being the tail, you know.

You are too  precious to me
for me to ever have felt angry
If your feelings I don’t know
Tell me then before you ever go.

My life so full of fearful anxiety
Of untold tears in my life history
My mind whirring endless thoughts
I felt once again I had been tossed.

My fears though naught were real
and a sick lonely feeling I did feel
So please just tell me ever so fast
for I hate and fear so being last.

I always seem to be the first to know...but the last to accept.  Good one, Magnus.
