638. What Is Your Greatest Fear Poem by Jaden Knight

What is your greatest fear? ? "
she asked me in a soft voice
staring at me with gentle brown eyes
my resistance crumbled away to nothing
like a wall against the storm of time
and this was my response

I fear losing my eyesight
either now and in the future
for no longer would I be able to look into your eyes
and enjoy the beauty within

I fear becoming completely deaf
and unable to hear your voice
every word you speak is like oxygen to me
I need it in order to survive

I worry one day I will not be able to speak
and tell you that I appreciate who you are
in can heap praises on you constantly
and my voice could never get tired

I guess I also fear losing you
to the reaper or anything else
I would demand that he would take me too
without you I may as well be dead
as I can only feel alive in your presence
