Sorrow debilitates
No system operates
Well
In duress
An insomniac
Heart attack
I can’t express
Any clearer
Than dearest ones
Dying inside
Every day
As you watch their whole world
Inundated with gray
But it’s been that way
Long before
You can remember
For you
Have felt others’
Despair
Since forever
And weathered storms
Tethered
To some sort
Of faith
In a genuine smile
Still crossing your face
When embraced with
Eternity’s
Sole resting place
