I Tremble but in Fear
I tremble but in fear, my dear
this tremblings caused by you
We’re on the edge of something huge
but small and fragile, too.
I feel the pain. I feel the blood.
I feel you breaking me
I tremble but in fear, my dear;
this trembling agony.
My eyes closed tight, I bite my lip
Metallic, salty, wet.
I tremble but in fear, my dear…
This trembling heart’s regret.
I push and thrash and kick and cry
but you do not give in.
I tremble but in fear, my dear,
I tremble from within.
You speak – a voice as soft as silk
but with it comes no ease.
I tremble but in fear, my dear,
I tremble and beg, “Please?”
You hold me close, to comfort me?
Wipe off one lonely tear.
I tremble to forget, my dear,
I tremble but in fear.
