Refusing Fear

Pressed into cavity, wardrobe holds captive Constrained where space is a premium Love lodged squashes logic, lungs ravaged Quicksand scenarios draw a dreamer in Denigrated to respondee in his spare time Hung on railing to wear at convenience Smiling nicely to speeches of a shared life Passed opportunity pops my congenial Friendliness strung with fun doesn't endear Resists my charm like chalice poisoned Realms kept seperate lest wretch interfere Rationed portions bring a brief rejoicing Abruptly leaves, impetus sprung immediate Swum mosquitoes among murk spread Sting truth beneath a furtive fable feeding it Sore heart can't receipt his ebbing debt Cement devoid of tears ceases to imprison Desert sand manuevre accomplishes Shatter of shackles farewell shadow limits Dazzled escapee has copious oxygen 2nd January Sacrifice won't suffice
