When life is hardest hit,
You see with empty eyes,
You see life falter,
You watch, as it dies…
You look around in pain,
Through opaque ground glass,
Others say, it’s just time,
Yet, it does not pass!
As life lays dying,
You are well aware
Of those who feel
And choose to be there.
Dreams terrify me!
You enter with different names
And my mind uses them
To play terrible games.
I’m tired; because i’m hounded
By the hours of sleep I get.
(And trust my heart:
It just really wants to forget.)
Weary, worn out and wasted,
Tears have long since dried;
But the emptiness alone,
Reminds me I haven’t yet died.
I saw you, day before,
Moving on, on some dating app;
You looked good; I smiled;
I didn’t fall into some anxious trap.
After ten months, I thought,
I have begun to let go –
But now I fear my mind
Keeps secrets it doesn’t show.
I know now that nothing
Was what seemed about you;
And yet, last night, as I slept,
I dreamed about you.
