A Fear Worse Than I Know

I have been consumed by my mind.
Thoughts swirl and drown every last sign of hope
and I am living in a black limbo.
I cannot bear the wait of it all
and the weight of it all will end up killing me.

The heat from these flames burn in my cheeks,
it's as if regret and fear have burnt through my flesh
and my salted tears only make them sting.
I've never been so afraid in my life.

There is a beast growing.
A beast that has the power to destroy everything I've worked towards.
With unlimited power and strength,
it will kill me.
And someplace in a field, two gravestones will lay
with the name of myself and the one I love most.
I will not walk this earth without him.
As the ghost of me, the shadow of my sins, cries all alone,
death dances on our graves in joyous victory.
