Fear Poem

He always promises
Something I know he can’t keep
To live tomorrow
And the rest of eternity

Just like the hound dog
Hunting the fox
I fear he’ll be dead
Before he comes home

He goes in the night
To hunt for his prey
Just like the vampire
He’s back by day

I think of him daily
Hoping in vain
He’ll be here tomorrow
And it’ll all go away

I fear I’m losing him
The person I love
To a gang and
To killing and drugs
