You Know Not Fear

Describing how it feels to have your life on hold, awaiting things which are out of your control.

You know not fear, unless you`re in Death`s wake,
Not knowing what awaits; pain, life, or death.
Unable to control the path you`ll take,
Each wakeful moment, fearing every breath.
The torment of ignorance brought each day,
And none can comprehend your reasons why;
For fearing what has yet to come your way - 
Your fears of Death which make you cry.
No words describe it then, those days alone,
When you so crave the comfort of a friend,
To feel the warmth of and comfort of your home;

That light which guides the pain to happy ends...
But far from truth, they suffer; face the tomb.
You know not fear, unless you`ve been there too.

A fine darkly penned atmospheric poem, much in the theme of a macabre Poe write and indeed, take nothing for granted as tomorrow is promised to none !
