trying for you

 
every morning the blinds
move ever so slightly
so when dawn breaks the morning sky
your eyelids are the first to know

every afternoon the summer heat is absorbed into the carpet
so when you set foot into the living room
it rises like mist
and breaks your skin

and every night the silence becomes more deafening
so when you try to remember why you're here
you are not sure if it's worth
being grateful for
