He Lives In Ceaseless Fear
by Richard Reed Jr
copyright 05-13-2006


Age Rating: 7 to 127

 
Of their returning
Much as a raped
And half-murdered woman
Fears looking over her shoulder

His head flashes the rigid pinned eagles
The jackhammered foot-beats of
Shiny black leather
His ears reverberate
Frosted ice-edged voices
Echoing echoing echoing
Down the paint-peeling
Hallways of his life

The dragging, pushing, prodding
Like unaware cattle
Interminably milling around
Until finally stuffed into the darkness
Taken away

Even now
He feels dirty
He needs a shower, but fears
Of never returning
He had no right
Being guilty as they were
My God it was only a few names
And yet..................

A door booms in his head
repeatedly
They're here again
He stands listless, vacant
Knowing he has no choice
He slowly opens the door

Tonight no one is there

So which is better, fear of them comming, or seeing no one there, if in fact "them" are actully people you are talking about, I don't understand, but I am here, and you have lots of friends here, and even if they don't understand they will listen, Great write, very sad, good job, thanks,

Regina
