Can't see through
the tears.

Can't speak, my
voice will betray me.

Numbness wraps
around like an
overcoat.

Anger swims
throughout.

Feeling not very smart,
and not so wise.

Round and round,
caught in that thick
familiar muck.

Lessons screaming
to be learned.

A soul aching
to be set free.

Eyes that are blind.
Heart that is lost.

The heavy wings
of the mind,
looking for a safe
place to land

in search of respite
which never comes.

A deep, long lived
yearning for a
tender peace...

that only visits,
but never stays.
