(triple) haiku 15

it is abnormal

that i'm more scared to return

than i am to stay.

it is unlike me

that i'm more scared to return

and i am so sorry.

it is unfounded

that i'm more scared to return.

it will be okay.

you asking for my

silence is a high price. i

will pay it, of course.

but the silence comes

at my own expense. paid in

turmoil, not in gold.

you think you trick them?

what if they simply see you
