Nightmare

Once I believed
That I would die by violence --
Because I was young
And had love
And the worst nightmare I could conceive of
Was to have so much to lose
And lose it

Now I believe
That I will die of old age --
Because I am no longer young
And have not love
And the worst nightmare I can conceive of
Is to have nothing to lose
Day after day
