Don'T Tell Me Poem by Michelle Asswit

His hands so cold
Sent shivers down my spine
His eyes so bold
They looked right into my mind
He told me a story about his life
He told me about his kids, his wife
He told me how once they were his
And after just a moment they fell into the abyss
The abyss of his mind, that is...
Hours of speaking to the eccentric man
I rose up and began to ran
Away from the truth I was holding
Away from the pain I was unfolding
