Fearing the stillness

some nights, in the darkness

I feel you, Lord

but I hasten, quickly,

to the door, the exit,

not lingering in the dark

fearing the stillness

afraid for what you might say

if I stayed, if I listened,

if you spoke out loud

in the silent darkness

if you came down from the glass

and confronted me

wanting to conform my steps

but knowing how often I fall
