Angus

To keep me safe 
he holds me tight 
To keep me in 
he stays the night 
I have to sleep
he’s shaking me
awake 
to think and worry 

He cools my hands
to warm my heart 
He dries my throat
to slow my start
I want to talk 
He’s hushing me
still 
to think and worry    

To keep me safe 
he whispers lies
of people and
their evil eyes
I need to love 
He’s keeping me
alone 
to think and worry 

He lays me flat 
to keep me whole 
He feasts on flesh
and on my soul
I want to die 
He’s telling me
to stop 
the thought and worry 

I’m hugging him
to let him go
I feel I need him
even though
he hurt me 
I will miss him still
Goodbye
to thought and worry
