A dare

As my body lay bare

I sit and think if life was ever fare

I look up for answers but they were never there

Only you were

but in your stare

It is true that they flare

But I can also see dreams that we all share

Another nightmare

Horrifying without compare

I was scared

That I would never wake up

And I never did in a way that slammed me shut

It is something we all fear

In so many ways and on so many layers

But with your tears

I cannot help but hear

the mourning of millions of people in my ears

I weep because I cared

since I saw your stare

I set my mind clear

I sit and wonder if life was ever fare

I can only sit and wonder as my body lay bare
