Fear's Masquerade

[Celestial23]

"Fear's Masquerade"

 

 

You linger in the shadows with your hungering stare,

 

 

 

I inch to move closer but my heart cries, "Don't dare!"

 

 

 

Frigid chills fall down my spine; a needle affect,

 

 

 

I tense to turn towards you but fail to my discontent,

 

 

 

Blurs and swirls of color envelop my senses,

 

 

 

My brain moves a million beats per second I've gathered from my consensus,

 

 

 

Your cold stare freezes my body in both thought and movement,

 

 

 

The first law of motion states I must stay in rest, unless pushed by improvement,

 

 

 

A daze cascades over my body; white hot like burning flesh,

 

 

 

I hold my hands up in reproach, "I'm fading" is my guess,

 

 

 

The final toll has struck from the Bell of deprave,

 

 

 

I stand here frozen in space and time, because I could not pry your gaze,

 

 

 

The jig is up, I've found you out, there is nothing left for you here,

 

 

 

I ask myself why it happened, and the answer was my biggest fear.

A tragic story of love lost. You certainly captured your story.

If that was a compliment...thanks.

If that was a compliment...thanks.

 

It was. Eventually we all have to realize we all make mistakes, and what we need to do to make amends and move on. I'm sure you will do the right thing.

I guess accepting the guilt will feel easier with time? I know it was for the best...I know even if I continued the relationship with nothing happening I still would have not been fully satisfied and we would have broken up by the end of the year due to careers etc anyways...But I still miss having him in my life even though I know it wouldn't have worked out.

 

I think I'm more upset about what happened then the actual breaking up part.

Guilt is a terrible feeling, and it's hard to get rid of even for small things. But if there's anything good to say, at least you do feel guilty for your actions. It shows you have a conscience, and no person with that is truly bad.

[Celestial23]

Thank you for saying that...

[duke nukem]

No problem.

I enjoyed this! I think you could very well add more to it, and make an even grander impression upon the reader.
