Dependent

I’ve little to say to you;
     I’m still finding new places
     to hide.

You lurk in the middle
of the room,

          oblivious

to your harm, and I find myself
in the shadows,

hoping

     you do not see me.

Our roles seem reversed
to anyone who does not know
to be afraid
of what has become

                    your way.
