In the Depths

12 ft under lies the pain

6 ft above are the voices...

They never do calm.

The winds shift, it seems,

In the right direction..

However, it hits harder

than expected.

The night drifted away from me

As I carefully laid my head down.

I am yet to feel like I have before...

I am yet to feel...

I laid there debating on sleep

But I laid there...

I laid there alone.

At times, comfort and familiarity

seems needed...

but it also seems wrong.

But also seemed like love.

I can't heal his heart

I can't numb his pain

I can't help him.

I can breathe,

I can smile

I can keep looking forward...

It's what I know how to do.
