Untimely

Unless I mourn alone,

Tears must validate my pain.

I can see their eyes glancing,

Thoughts milling through their brain.

In the mind

A thousand words are spoken,

But never touch the lips.

I watch the world 

Around me

Crumble,

And the scale finally tips.



Translucent joy

And screaming tears,

Gasping breaths

And midnight fears.



I collect myself

And turn away,

Into the nothingness

Of another day.
