Mary Ann's Poems

Fear

Fear

As we danced, you held me close,

Too close.

I pushed you away,

But you came back.

Holding me too close.

Fear ran through my veins

I pushed you back again.

I told you to back off.

You said that was just

      the way you danced.

I didn’t care.

I just wanted you to leave me alone.

After we danced, I sat down,

You came over and sat too.

You tried to hold my hand

I wouldn’t let you.

You finally left, and so did my fear!
