Prompt:
Write about something that scares you. It could be tarantulas or an existential fear of the unknown. Anything so long as it unsettles you. Describe it in the most vivid language possible!
My Poem:
Spiders, bugs, snakes,
Death and the unknown.
Fear runs through us all.
I fear nothing but
Love.
One word. Four letters.
They seem to have endless power.
The only mind control
that seems to work on everyone.
There’s
no way to break away
once he has his claws in you.
It puts you in a haze.
Making you think there’s
nothing
you want more then this.
Makes you feel that
after all the pain, tears and problems
it’s all worth it. It gets scarier and
scarier
to think that people
will fall in love over and over again.
Pretending that each time
isn’t a stab to the heart.
Don’t
people understand that
when something hurts
you stay away from it?
Wild animals seem too.
You
would think humans would also.
Someone once told me that
love feels like something is slashing
at your soul with a dull knife. I
Agree.
