What's my great fear?
    I'll tell you; come near...
    To lay down in death
    with so much left.

    Passion not spent -
    Oh cowardly regret!
    For fear of others?
    The thousand deaths.

    I'm afraid to die
    With no twinkle in my eye -
    To pass meagerly by
    Yet hidden inside.     

    To walk through life
    Not truly alive,
    And to pass in the night
    With an unfelt "goodbye".
