Fear

Your fear, a shadow on your face,
A secret held, in every place.
In your terror, I see the truth,
A heart that's lost, a wasted youth.

A heart that's lost, in the rain.

A shadowed figure, deeply groomed.
Your eyes, a cold and piercing gaze,
Turned my heart into a maze.

Leaving me pale and unassailed.

Yet in your fright, I found my fight,
To chase away the darkest night.

Your grip, once strong, began to fade,

In dawn's new light, I stood unafraid.
The shadow's grip, a distant past,
A fear transformed, free at last.

The Haunting Whisper

Your voice, a whisper in the wind,
Carried tales of where you'd been.
Each word, a chill down to my core,
A haunting presence, hard to ignore.

In dreams, your figure, dark and tall,

Turned my sleep to a restless call.
With every whisper, a silent scream,
Frightening away the light of dreams.

Your presence, like a phantom’s touch,

Gripped my soul, a little too much.
Yet in the fear, a strength was found,
To face the whispers all around.

The haunting voice, now just a sound,

In courage, I firmly stood my ground.
From fright to strength, a journey made,
Through whispered fears, I now invade.

About Someone

Shadow’s Grip

In the darkness of your gaze,
Lies a fear that does amaze.
Each moment you held, each breath you took,
Wrote terror in life's book.
Your presence, a haunting sight,
Filled my days with endless night.
With every move, every word,
My fears, by you, were stirred.
Your power, a looming cloud,
In your presence, I'm not proud.
In your fear, I found my fight,
To turn the wrong into right.
Forever vigilant, forever strong,
From your shadow, I'll move on.
