My Greatest Fear

I fear of never waking...the darkness sucks me in 
Engulfed in misty shadow...entwined in softened sin 
I fear of never seeing...blind to all that breathes 
Locked behind these marble eyes...shackled in memories 
I fear of never feeling...to never love at all
An empty space of heartache...forever doomed to fall 
I fear of never walking...bound with chain and tie 
Moving is a given gift...that's taken when we die 
I fear of never knowing...what will come of things 
Stranded in my empty mind...stuck with broken wings 
I fear of never breathing...drowned in distant thought 
Sinking within my shattered self...never to be caught 
I fear of never fearing... it is what makes us whole 
For fearing is part of life itself...a part of every soul
