The sky's lights have been switched off
But the stars flicker
with bloodshot eyes trying to stay awake
i need them to witness this

I stand helpless
Like a lamb that had just been born
Falling to the ground after attempting to put one foot in front of the other
Sometimes I whisper
Other times I scream
Both times I plead through the vastness
That if someone could be so kind
as to scoop up a heap of liquid cement
And fill up this bottomless hole in my gut
And maybe while these vicious winds dry it up

*I'll learn how to be whole again..
