Fighting back the tears
I reach for
Help...
"Please help"
I can not do this anymore,
not alone.
I can no longer fight
the war that will not be won.
and I am bleeding...
the shaking begins
the story pours out
along with a single,stray, suppressed
tear
i can not do this anymore
i hurt, i ache
with every beat of your heart
my fears explode
Your ocean drowns me
nascent blisters pop
unrecognizable excuses of life
into my face
I shudder - not able to turn away
please help - I can no longer do this
the life raft I offer
is faded, peeling from
disuse
I can not do this anymore
...
