Do not

Do not share your fear

Or your worries

Or your pain

With me any longer

If you are only waiting

Poised to strike

For the moment when 

The sun is low enough

For the shadows to disappear

As i will not spend my life 

Biting at tires

And fishing in dry lakes

For the hope of trying to find the corner

In a circular room

Or the person you once were

Before you became a child of the fear

We all have inside of us

Of the monsters in the shadows

And the cracks in our hearts

After you bargained with them

In a game of poker
