You - I

I fear for you; for what you would do

Could do, are capable of doing.

You bottle everything up

For words are not your forte,

But emotions can´t be held forever.

You need time to think

Time to be alone, yet

You spend most of your time in loneliness.

I sit waiting for the explosion: - 

For one of my friends to turn to me

And say, “Did you hear what happened…”

Him in the past

He looks around him with clouded eyes

Waiting, patiently for what is to come.

His past he hopes will stay where he left it

Though he carries it in his mind with

Every waking moment.

At night his nightmares haunt him:

A nightmare being when a dream

And a fear meet; but then his fears

Are numerous yet identical.

A dangerous man is that one

Who fears nothing,

For fear controls and commands.

A fearless man risks everything

For he has nothing to lose.

It is better to have done and known

Than to not do and forever wonder,

For an experience can never be pondered

In the total negativity of its meaning

With which one can wonder about

Something one doesn´t or hasn´t done.
