My greatest fear

At first,

I thought it was

Darkness

Sleeping through

My very core

Enveloping me

Swallowing

All the light

My happiness

Unavoidable

Unrelenting

Doom

Then

i thought

It was

Loneliness

Having no one

By my side

When I’m spiraling

Down Down down

No one to catch me

No one

To remember me

No one to endure my pain

Make me feel

Empty

But when I met you

You brought me

A companion

Happiness

Unforced smiles

Yet the darkness

did not

Disappear

It there forever

The monsters

Hiding

Creeping

Waiting

To come out

When I’m at

My most

vulnerable state

To devour me

Drown me

In the darkness

I can never get away

I can never leave

For it is within me

It is what controls

My very being

It is my mind

It is me
