Analysis of Feared Affection

Angela Crabtree 1982 (maine)



Soft whispers, gentle kisses, they all mean so much to me
The affection uncanny, yet subtle

The days seem to fly by, yet some days seem to never end
His soft whispers fading in the wind

His gentle kisses turn into poison
The glow from his eyes so fierce, yet harmless

Time speeding up, racing through our minds
The words from his mouth, so violent and heartless

He turned so quick and fearless
Soft whispers, gentle kisses, they meant so much to me
