My Fear
Last night I had a dream
Of winding staircases.
To my left- a door
To my right- a chamber
As far as I could see;
Darkness of the right would swallow me.
I climbed on
The staircase of
Pain, Depression, and sorrow-
On and on, till the dawn of the marrow.
As the sun reflect'd
Off fragments of splintered mirror,
All around me did appear
A consuming darkness,
A crushing loneliness.
On my knees
Pain erupts
I scream in agony
Can't you hear my pleas!
A blinding white light
Shines at the top.
Struggling, I make
My ascent.
Breaking chains,
Severing tendrils of betrayal.
At the last stair, right on top
I stop, and look up.
The man I love,
The one I need,
Reaches out a hand;
Pulls me into a hug.
I smile genuinely,
As he plunges the knife
Right through my heart.
Startled, scared
I awake,
And give my head a shake.
No trust,
No love.
For my dream that night,
Was also my worst fear.
