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
bloody, 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
