When crying becomes regular

A sad song stirs tears

The catharsis a reality

 

Familiar sounds in a familiar place

No longer provide comfort

My eyes wash away normal

 

Silent streams, heavy breaths

Breathe in pain, exhale hope

Mouth opens no words

 

No action, just idea

A picture far away inside

My world I can’t touch

 

I want to reach

But my hands remain

Stagnant at my side

 

I get farther away

Filling less of myself

Faith holds my heart
