Are You Fearful? Poem by Kevin Carney

Are you fearful?
To tell me what you really feel?
On this warm summer’s night.
It’s seems so convoluted, in your mind.
Not knowing,
where you’ll take your next step.
I hear the whispers in the night…
Calling you…
Trying to take you away.
So unsettled you’ve become…
False hopes and promises…
You want to believe.
Is it all a dream?
Damn you for doing this…
It’s going to cost you in the end.
Tell me what you are going to do?
Please don’t shut me out?
Really you might need me in the end…
When he decides to walk away?
You think you thought it all out…
Ways out you think to set you free.
You just trade one chain for another…
You’ll be more alone than ever.
All in the name of what?
Love you think is simple…
Love you think is the answer…
Sight of what is to come.
Blinded,
you’ve become to what really could be…
You move down your road,
full of misguided hope...
Every step you take,
leaving you to trip and fall...
Sooner or later you won’t be able to get up.
