Weightless Step

Hands pushing, shoving.

Voices saying "Out damned spot out."

They do not see the tears,

They are invisible.

They do not hear the screaming,

It's silent.

They don't see the chaos,

I'm calm and composed.

And yet still hands are pushing.

I'll make them see me,

I'll make them hear.

They will feel the tears.

The Cement is calling to me.

It's come to this,

A weightless Step.

The Candlelight vigil they will hold,

As though they wanted my light.

But I'm out, out like a brief candle.
