Elucidating Questions

So few times I told your fortune

The few times I only saw the worst

But mine were worse

And how they terrified me

Those whispered futures

Thinking I’d created a demon I erased it

But the demon all along was the doubt which crept in

Afraid and alone

I was afraid and alone and scrambling because I felt everything slipping

And those who came went again

And otherwise they didn’t come

So I swallowed the doubt into my soul

Lost myself inside the hole

Where all was left was his love that I needed to live

Kept alive but a burning heart

Kept alive by a wildfire

In that dark place I wept and turned

All I could hear was how it burned

Fear and doubt doubled to the worst

Long lost love love of the first
