It's the steady

Drip,

Drip,

Drip,

Of tears on a desk.


It's the thrumming

Thump,

Thump,

Thump,

Of a heart escaping a chest.


It's the twisted

Knot,

Knot,

Knot,

In the stomach of a warrior.


It's the growing

Weight,

Weight,

Weight,

On the back of a carrier.


Can't take this

Life,

Life,

Life,

Just one day longer.
