she was afraid

so afraid

because everything is
about fear

hate is about fear
love is about fear
jealousy is about fear
fear is about fear

in the days of animals
we were the most fearful
and thus the most
successful

it is one of the many
ironies the universe sticks
in for ***** and giggles

she was afraid because
she saw me slipping

she saw the image
she had a-fixed to me
coming apart at the
seems

so she was afraid,
she was terrified,
that she was losing
me

and she was right
