“fear thou not,” he whispered as I put on my makeup so that I would look as pretty as I did the night that he first kissed me.
“fear thou not,” he whispered as I slipped on the red dress, to ensure that no one would be bothered with a costume change.
“fear thou not,” he said as I stumbled through the “I’ll see you later sweethearts” and the “we’re having pasta for dinners.”
“fear thou not,” he bellowed as I climbed to the top of our apartment complex. sunsets always were my favorite.
“fear thou not,” he bellowed as I breathed in for the very last time, taking in the smell of the flowers that were surrounding me. Portland was always pretty this time of year.
“fear thou not,” he whispered into the wind as I fell into the infinite nothingness. but I didn’t want his pity. his right hand can’t hold me anymore.
