Fear
Our worst enemy
Stops us in our tracks
Keeps us from doing the things we could be doing
Fear leaves me in an in-between
I fear so much being alone
Growing old
In a rickety old house
Full of regret
That life could be so cruel to me
To have me alone in the end
Today here I sit
Watching the world go by
Afraid to make a move
Take a chance for love
Lost broken opportunities
Fearing rejection
Not willing to risk a broken heart
My greatest fears 
Love and Loneliness
One is inevitable
While the other will fade away
Love is frightening
But is it not better than the alternative?
I must choose one or the other 
I am afraid, so I will do nothing
Doing nothing
Best option I can think of for now
But nothing will soon lead me back to loneliness 
Fear
My worst enemy,
Has chosen my path for me.
