I repeat, I have nothing else to say.
Anxiety leaves me gasping for breath;
Thoughts churn; but can’t convey
A tug of war between life and a death.

I stand at the brink of a precipice,
With savage winds buffeting onto me,
Eyes wide, lest some kind stranger’s slightest kiss
Sends me into some dark eternity.

The abrasive cold of a once-warm love
Freezes me onto those I hold dear;
But no power from earth or sky above
Can truly lessen an ounce of this fear…

Fear from false promises, hopes, kisses lost
And cruel smiles luring from the past:
I‘m barren now; I can’t afford their cost;
Faltering, I wonder how long I’ll last.
