an ocean

your guilt is an ocean

violently crashing

against these brittle rock ledges

 

the falling pieces

causing you to grow oh so heavy

oh so weary

with your actions

 

this weight i try to bare

oh so fruitlessly, though

it is not my weight to care

 

silently leaving with

the faint bells

 

but still your tides

wash up on my shore

weighing more than once before
