• There is a moment that burdens my shoulder, my mind.
    What little I understand of it but it remains all the time.
    It asks nothing it takes nothing it just steadily weighs down and leaves me asking why.
    This burden, invisible but feeling it moves.
    It travels on me like sickness giving my eyes only sights of blue.
    It travels across my body tearing down taking times fines and making me pay my dues.
    Across my heart like a cold fire promising warmth burning only sorrow.
    I feel it's regrets like my own a pity dreading tomorrow.
    I am truly shallow, hallow, empty I am alone.
    This pains are mine I want to shout but I cannot groan.
    I feel naught but grief.
    My whole body torn in disbelief.
    My once precious words that escaped my lips.
    Taken over by empty feelings all my letters eclipsed.
