Today my tears
Hit the floor of a chapel
Not for the past
But for what may come after

Alone and empty
In the garden of Eden
A sheep in wolves clothing
Searching for a pastor

Father, I feel your pain
To sigh as you wake up again
Your scars are physical
Mine are inside

We’ve been struck at the heart
Made crippled and blind
But too different in our battles
Are you and I

To feel empathy for another
Or understand why we cry
It torments us
And gives birth to divide

And so we walk together
In separate directions

Alone
In the worst of company
Praying silently
For a bullet’s comforting

"Such is life"
And “ashes to ashes"
"**** the *******"
"Now is all that matters"

All the modern philosophy
In all of the world
Could never repair now
What has been indefinitely torn
