I'm Afraid...

Romance and fear...
She told me that life moves on.
But I could never imagine!
Now the wings of imagination have wilted,
And I gasp, reality-stricken.

But I won’t die.
Life moves on.
Now I fancy "the woods" no more,
And I no longer fear "the odyssey":

That awaits me to tell
That she was right;
I’m afraid:
She always was...
