What is your greatest fear?
What scares you the most?
Is it snakes or garden gnomes?
Or cockroaches on your toast?
What makes you cry at night?
What steals your breath away?
Do you cringe at the sight of blood?
Is there something you avoid everyday?
Well I have a fear
and it's none of the above.
I fear being alone,
that's what I'm afraid of.
Not being the only one at home
or anything like that.
I fear being alone in life
and this is what I'm getting at.
Sometimes you go a little crazy
and I don't see you for a while
and when you're gone
I miss your pretty smile.
But you've always come back
and for this I'm glad.
Yet next time, maybe not
what promises have I had?
What if you went away
and found someone better than me?
Would you still come back,
If i'm worse than he?
What would I do,
if I didn't have you?
What could I do,
if you were untrue?
This is my fear
and I hope it's wrong.
I hope we're always together
and always get along.


I wrote this because every once in a while, one of my two gal friends will get caught up in activities or with their current boyfriend and forget that the other two of us exist for a while. I am male but i tried to write it from a unisexual viewpoint. Comments are welcome and appreciated.

You did well to write it unisexual because I'm female and I really liked it,  I have felt alone not having a boyfriend and my friends going off with their boyfriends and leaving me out so I could relate to it well.  Nice work

Aww! This was so sweet. I really enjoyed reading this. I liked the rhyming scheme. Flowed beautifully. Nice work.

hey, I share your pain. My greatest fear is and always has been that I will lose the people I am close to. For a long time it kept me from opening up to people. Anyway, good write, and thanks for the read.
