Man That You Fear

Make of it what you will

The men that you fear are the ones you hold most dear. 

Feel don’t heal. Tangled in your sins. 

Your decaying skin. An evil grin. 

Complacent in a coma. 

You gave me your melanoma. 

Fade away. Only for you to stay. 

Black as your heart. 

Made scars your art. Fall apart. 

Twenty two with nothing to lose. 

I found you. You cut. Forever shut. 

Locked away in your cave. I’ll obey. 

Cigarettes and regret. 

You were my threat, I was your brunette. 

Played too many rounds of Russian roulette. 

You were the man that I feared but I loved you dear.

It's always hard to have fear of the one you love. Making you feel trapped, playing a never ending game. As if you have no choice. It leaves you in a place so barren and scary, cut off from all society. You're only stuck with yourself and trying to get out...

wow. yes. The fear from the ones we hold most dear is the fear of being hurt...I can relate. The entire piece really touched a familiar place in me. I enjoyed it
