Tears Falling

I KNOW

I KNOW YOU EXIST

BUT THIS SPACE

WITHIN

WON'T ALLOW FOR JOY

IT DEVOURS WHATS GOOD

AND LEAVES DEATH

AS CRUMBS

THIS PAIN

SO DEEP

IT HURTS

WITHIN THESE CAVITIES

A SICKNESS HAS

MADE ITS HOME

IF TODAY WAS MY LAST

I WOULD BE GLAD

I HAVE ENDURED ENOUGH

IF I WERE TO SPEAK

OF MY SUFFERING

THE SILENCE

OF MY FRIENDS

WOULD BE QUIETER

THEN WHEN I HAVE

CALLED OUT TO YOU

AND TO YOU

I CANNOT SPEAK

FOR MY SIN RISES

TO MOUNT EVEREST

AND SPREADS

LIKE A FLOOD

DROWNING WOULD BE SWEET

IF IT WERE ANY OTHER LIQUID

BUT THIS

LIKE SEWAGE

TO MY NOSTRILS

I STILL LIVE

AM ALIVE

BARELY

YOU HAVE KEPT ME

ALTHOUGH

I DESIRE OTHERWISE

YOU HAVE LOVED ME

AND YET I FEEL NOTHING

I AM UNWORTHY

OF YOUR DEEP ADMIRATION

BUT A SMALL

FIRE REMAINS

IN MY ATTEMPT

TO FOLLOW YOU
