It’s not fair.
I beat my fists against the wall
As children do,
Shake my head
at the gravity of it all.
When does enlightenment happen?
When does evolution occur?
It’s just a blur,
This life.
Cuts like a knife
Through butter and
Leaves me senseless
On the gutter..
My heart weeps for you
Wallows in the deep
Side of the water
As you hold your breath
And I try to breathe
But it is what it is
And I cannot keep you
Unless you want to stay.
