Fear

"FEAR" he sits next to me on my couch. he sits next to me in my ride. he rides my shoulder at work. he walks beside me when I wander. he laughs at me when I cry. he says, "do it, do it, do it!" when I'm ready to leave. he grins with his cigar and says "hey kid, hang in there. she'll be back. she loves you." I ask him, "how do you know?" he says, "if she didn't, she'd be taking you flowers already." I say, "you told me to let her in. you told me to let her love me." he says, "you're losing your mind. lose it all. I see you every day in that house. lose it all." I say, "every bit of everything made me love her more and more. I gotta go now. Bach is playing and I've drawn the shades. it's wet out. mind your steps." he says, "it isn't raining and there is no music playing." he- is who I hid out of fear. By: Chicano Eddie
