i shiver uncontrollably
in spite of the palpable heat
my heart could not find peace
my calm exterior belies their eyes
for inside is a fragile being
that threatens to shatter any moment
fear has it by the throat
its slender fingers wound tight
i could scarcely breathe
a minute that flew past
was like an hour of muffled agony
tears were blinked back
pleas were swallowed hard
atrophy creeps into my body
for fear has rendered me paralyzed
i gave in as soon as i choked
kissed and made love with cold Death
no one would save me anyway
i would not even save myself
