Fear

fear of what lies beyond that dark corner

life is more fearful then old

tales to put fear in young children

on cold fall evenings while

ole Hollow Eve approaches

beyond that dark corner

lies my regrets

fear of never having said I love you

the fear of all of what may have been

the lack of acceptance

hurtful words thrown so easily

meant to hurt the heart

i fear that it maybe to late

to express my whole hearted love

for how you have touched my life

brightened it with laughs, adventures and love

why had I not said I love you

begged for forgiveness

apologized for all the hurt that

i may have caused the what ifs

what could have been no longer?

only what we have the present and future

if I have never said it out of

fear or straight fright of a broken heart

i say it at this time Thank you for entering

my life with love always Me
