sip of fear [ jillian-rae a. picco ]

Come here;
let me tell you
i’m afraid

that i
won’t get to live all these dreams
i made.

Strip me
back, i’ve got much to
say –

about time
i admit
i’m not as perfect as i’d like to
think.

Layers unravel
beyond time
in this soul
travel.

Remind me
who I was at my
best; I’ll take your
hand, find a way to be her
again.

Sipping on

fear,

I brewed this

pot;

you shouldn’t

drink

but you might have to

watch.
