INNER FEAR.
This roiling ever present fear within
It rots my mind and my future whim
Like some sword of Damocles
Above my head
Suspended by the thinnest thread
My fear for me and for my wife
Threatens every part of my sinful life
My life, my pit
Edgars pendulum swings ever lower
Til’ steel will bite
My life will end
Maybe
As one of Alighieri’s shades
Screaming in the glooms of hell
I have this fault, I cannot tell
