Phobias

I am you-phobic

All of my fears

Surround you

Less you,

More who I am around you .

Who I'll become around you.

You'll dissolve the concrete walls

I've spent so much     

     time building around myself.

Each bruise another

slab,

5 feet thick     50 feet high.

All 6 feet 3 inches of yourself

Letting it fall around us with just

one

word.

I'm scared of who I'll become around you

But I'm more afraid of what I'll become without you.

I like the metaphor presented here: a phobia both of being with someone who changes us and being alone without them. A double f**k-over for the person afflicted with the phobia. I liked this.

Ohooo... like this one! Excellent metaphor and allusion for a soul that weighs the risk of love against the emptiness of its absence. A hope and hesitant piece that shines with an innate innocence so often found in the young.
