Melanie C. Campos ~ MahTame

I FEAR THE ANSWER

Will you ignore me during your reunion
While I wonder how it’s going for you
Seein’ old comrades that have been there
From Nam’s war; many memories in view

Will I become a silent person in your life
While you are going through war stories
Imagining the deep bonding you warriors
Continue to rekindle in honor and all glories?

Will a silent gesture be emitted toward moi
While I cannot fathom such insensitivity
Whatever the reason that is kept entombed
Makes me wonder what you want from me?

I fear the answer; I fear the real deal in truth
Perhaps I am just a fancy whim that suits
A desire on occasions that fit your time
While I constantly wonder if I’m in cahoots
