“It Scares Me
***
Whom, I devoted,
My life
With love and respect
It left me, alone
To suffer from that
Which scares
And hurts me,

To build a new way
That may lead towards
The same outcome
So I dare not
I am afraid,
From such ones
It seems everyone is that
I cannot risk and bear
Such gambling again”
