assassin hidden in our closet

do not speak of the loneliness,

don't even make a gossip-

because even walls have ears.

an assassin hidden in our closet,

biding the correct time when

you noticed most; but too late for

a counter attack. 

safe may be in company;

alas though lest i worry 

when we greet that familiar specter

awaiting in our closet.

Author's Note

loneliness is a silent killed that strikes when all is too late.
