"thantophobia" poems
Philanthropic devotion of your tears
To my self-asserted sense of importance
To the wake of a vessel leaving port forever
And the mighty sun sets where I saw you last
On the horizon, without looking back
But I stand in desert sands
It is all a mirage yet I remain alone
And so even my imagination holds truth
Time and time again I find myself alone
Whilst you are surrounded by love and prosperity
But is it true that I have lost you to the changing tides
To the trade wind's mighty gust?
Have you set sail and left me here to perish
Alone and breaching insanity?
Am I merely imagining falsehood in reality?

Thantophobia
Noun.
The abnormal fear of death, whether it be your own or someone you love.
The thing is,
I do not fear my own death.
I fear the death of others...
Of the ones I love.

I’ve loved too much
And
Cared too deeply.
Though not romantically,
Your absence
still hurts.
