i fear nothing; i fear not. yet i fear losing all i’ve got.
the fear of failure, of ugly greed.
the remorse of kindness, of guilty need.

i fear pain; i fear sorrow. yet i fear not seeing tomorrow.
the fear of being, of wasted life.
the pain of knowing, of ailing strife.

i fear water; i fear flying. yet i fear not the edge of a cliff.
the fear of drowning, of falling air.
the tattered world, of shadowed despair.

i fear loving; i fear you. yet i fear most of loving you.
the fear of shame, of shallow blame.
the pleasure of passion, of screaming your name.
