Sometimes it’s like trying to hold your words together
While everything about you is falling apart
It’s like the weight of her laughter to lighten the load
It’s drinking until the last drop, only to feel as empty as the bottle
It’s telling the same truth, in as many lies as possible
In these words, there’s something more than everything
But my loneliness wants no part in this
In these words, there’s something less than nothing
This is the darkness that was blessed to us
This is poetry.
