i sit as they seethe

draining my energy

eating my insides

i keep trying, downcast without emotion

my ears bleed from the

propaganda they throw

moments ago i confided the pain

to you, i know its getting old

i keep trying, trying to sleep

without you in my arms

without hearing i love you

not even a tender tone

its like packing glass

into the cuts developed

from a lifetime of

missing you so much

i keep trying, relating

everything downplayed

hopeless, such a powerful word

what lies at the end of this

******, unforgiven trail

i keep trying, bending

to the point of breakage

running a race i thought

i had already won,beautiful

memories of you alone

hide me from the sun
