Pain is something too deep to feel.
It's easier to let it be.
to stuff every emotion that could have been real
to the deepest waves of the sea.
-
To watch it them twist and turn
somewhere outside of me.
And to wash away the fleeting burn
with fantastical reality.
-
Curse it, when it turns to rage
And blinds from seeing right.
It uniquely never withers with age
and only bloodies the fight.
-
The people only make it worse
with words of truth that sting.
The notes of pain and rage converse
till they forget how to sing.
-
Tears no longer threaten to spill,
they've grown outdated and old.
With hearts that have long gone still
and reek of soil and mold.
-
Never in a million years
do I find the courage to cry.
Poor little heart, all it bears
will have to stay with it till I die.
