Misery
Why will you not speak?
Do I terrify?
Is honesty a scare,
For you young one?
Tip toe around, bounce,
She is coming.
My head is held under.
I taste the salt, the pearls
That grow on my skin.
Pain is all over,
All within.
Run for cover -
She is set to land.
Look in my eyes,
Read the rest of the poem Show less
What do you see?
Egg shells perhaps,
She has cracked me,
Not only here,
But turning back,
The hands that define now,
Will guide you and show
She has held me too long.
Will she so easily aid you?
In tearing down the walls,
That are my esprit.
The cogs of my mechanics,
Sink heavy deep,
She is gravity,
So it seems.
She holds my head under,
You do not resuscitate,
But drive nails through my cover,
In all of your finest clothes.
Will you take her hand?
Silently as accustomed.
Will you manage it?
Will you manage it?
