as though you are afraid

a nighttime of hours like a train that rounds the bend
only the sound following your footsteps
threatening to unearth your fears with only a suggestion

this is where the whispers of insecurity begin to slip their fingers through the door
the thinnest veil of hope
hiding their fingerprints
decades old birthday wishes anxiously spent
and buried in the backyard
