The Fear
January 11, 2019
Her eyes held a blank stare
It was haunting
Eyes sharp blue
And wet
She was crying
She was strong
And held everything in
Until it would burst
Her eyes piercing
Looking for something
Wandering
They paled
She was afraid
But always denied it
But now
Now it was true
Nothing got to her
But this
This is why I came
I was the one she feared
The one that changed her
The one that darkened her
I was the fear
