All One Can Say
The sun limps across the horizon
a damp grey washes the roots
and a desolate urge begins to cry
It's been three days
drear settles in
pulls murk from my mask
but I cannot lie
a singular perk
a mouth full tango
swirled and imagined
blow up my otherwise empty mind
I see sunshine in ancient ruins
where laughter ruled the day
but the rocks I carry are heavy
crashing hard from a waning sky
my weight to much to bare
no help, no more care
I'll only rest for a minute
but it's too hard to go on
birds encircle high
blood's letting out my eyes
adoration held no attention
unmerciful gift me in obsidian
carry me off with these aching bones
I must walk, I must live, I must die
a damp grey washes the roots
and a desolate urge begins to cry
It's been three days
drear settles in
pulls murk from my mask
but I cannot lie
a singular perk
a mouth full tango
swirled and imagined
blow up my otherwise empty mind
I see sunshine in ancient ruins
where laughter ruled the day
but the rocks I carry are heavy
crashing hard from a waning sky
my weight to much to bare
no help, no more care
I'll only rest for a minute
but it's too hard to go on
birds encircle high
blood's letting out my eyes
adoration held no attention
unmerciful gift me in obsidian
carry me off with these aching bones
I must walk, I must live, I must die

it really is especially when You are living alone
and while i do live alone the ache has been displaced by Sky even though she is in the UK and me in AZ

A painful but powerful write, JusTim. Not much more to say than this: very well done, all the way.

This was immeasurably palpable, Tim. I don't know any that would not be able to relate.

Thanks A, I will see her tomorrow night but I don't show any resentment to her around the kids. I prefer to write it out when I get these feelings.

Amazing how words can feel so damn heavy. Not as heavy as the emotion or thought prompting them, but still... Sending hugs, my friend
