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
