Concrete and Blood

"I never sweat anyone"
I believe is what i said
To you
Trying to make a point
Trying to sound tough.
But the real point is
That I am tough.
I
am.
Making it in this world thus far.
Not afraid of much.
Not even of being alone.

But you.
here you are.
And suddenly
I am afraid of living in a world
That does not include you
Either now
Or at some point
In some unknown future.

So here I am alone, afraid, and yes, sweating
Not knowing if it's good or bad
But knowing that it makes me human
I
am.  
Human and afraid.
With both blood and concrete running through my veins.
