When life becomes a trembling world of fear, <br />you question every single move you make, <br />afraid your loving soul will disappear; <br />for danger looms, awaiting your mistake. <br />What hidden word will cause explosion's might <br />to back you in a corner of despair? <br />Your sole reprieve lies in the ebon night, <br />yet anger boils from pain he wouldn't spare. <br />Where love once dwelled resides a burning hate <br />as desperation's hand has gained control. <br />No longer viewed as your eternal mate; <br />to save yourself becomes the utmost goal. <br /> <br />Envisioning a pool of crimson red; <br />a knife within your hand; your fear is shed.<br /><br />Jo Lynn Ehnes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-sonnet-of-fear/
