Scared - Autumnblaze

I sleep on a thin drowning rope

To burn inside the fragile sea

I saw you fall many days

My nights were cruel — windless boughs

To you I wrote fevered rhymes

Oppressive sounds inspired me

I am…

…scared of a moment that won’t come

…scared of a landscape draped with clouds

…scared of a wilted envelope

…scared of your poem’s parting verse
