dark places

I know you.


We've met before. I didn't like you then. I don't like you now.

I wish you would go away and leave me alone.

I don't have time to play in your dark garden; nor do I want to spend time with your friends, Sad and Lonely.

I don't want to allow you close enough that you grab hold of me with your cold hard hands. Around you there is no light, no happy, no goodness. Around you is only darkness.

Associating with you makes me angry. Allowing you into my life causes me pain, and bitterness.

Please go away.

I don't like who I am when you are around.

Leave me alone.

Go away.

Just.  GO.
