Talking to Courage

Courage and I go out to a cafe and have a little chat.

Talking to Courage

-Geneva Willis-

So.

They Tell me you're courage.

The absence of fear, but complete with fear inside-

they say you just ignore it and do whatever.

You remind me of wolves and heroes-

do you know any heroes?

Are you a hero?

What do you think- you don't seem to talk much.

Quiet- the ability to hold the tongue-

that must be courage.

The need to save the downtrodden- you've got that desire somewhere

don't you?

Do you love her-

that girl you're watching?

You never speak to her, you just observe.

That silly smile all over your face.

We call you courage, but what are you really?

I think I knew you once-

now I'm not sure we even pass on the street anymore.

I miss your company when the lights go out-

I cry about it sometimes too.

I think I've lost you.

Interesting nevertheless. I like the topic you picked and the way you choose your words. The last three lines are maybe my favourite, strong and memorable.
