The Element of Fear

Like a shadow lurking in the dark,
This feeling stays in the back of my thoughts
Like a rain cloud hovering over a solitary spot,
This feeling stays in the confines of my heart
Just as a snake stalks it's pray waiting to strike,
This feeling will come out of nowhere,
Piece by piece it tears me apart
You see,
The same way a fake person will call them self your friend,
This feeling gives the sense that it means no harm,
And silently kills me from within
The thing about this feeling is,
It leaves no trace
No scars
No visible tears
This feeling can't be defeated
This is the Element of Fear
