Fear
It is fear that set me apart
It is fear that kept me here
It is fear that tore us loose
It is fear that brought us together
It Is fear that gets things done
It is fear that prevents the same
Fear brought me to you
And it is fear that led me away
It is fear that makes me wonder
It was fear that killed my brother
Fear
Which Led me a stray
Put shortness in my chest
Put whiskey on my breath
Fear
Always back and forth going
Above and below
All the things were afraid of
In all the places not to step
All of the faces never to keep
Or the names of the faces
Long forgotten
But still in your sleep
But it wasn’t fear that brought you here
It wasn’t the monsters under the bed
It wasn’t the many scary questions or the uncertain truths
It is not fear that got me here today
It was you…
Never afraid…
