Thomas Lee Rhymes Poet Free verse

creeping down the hall

i've tried to express my fears
the inescapable end to you
i'm trying now, but am i clearly getting through
it's not suicide i'm thinking of
it's just the unknown 
crawling through the night
creeping down the hall 

in my hot impulsive stirrings of yesterday
i've traveled many nights to be with others
borrowed money and shifted blame
to anything i could imagine, whether it was real or not
it's just that the unknown 
crawling through the night
creeping down the hall 
is more than I alone can stand

i needed someone, i needed you
to share my fears 
and cool my stirrings
and bring me full circle, into the light
to reveal the unknowns
sending them down the hall
crawling and creeping to their own
inescapable end
