Description
Tears trickle down my cheeks
through well-worn trails
leaving a wetness that evaporates so slowly.
Lacking the energy even to sob,
I sit motionless and frail.

Fork to knife to needle to skin,
useless lay-abouts.
“Draw,” I say!
But they don’t even put up a fight.

I awake from a restless sleep,
still soaked in last night’s tears,
reminders of pain that has yet to heal.
Wrapped in feverish delirium,
I ache with love and sorrow.

My mind stumbles as I squeak
desperate cries
for the absolution of my sins.
As I pay penance, He laughs
from His seat on high.

That was it, my heart laid bare.
What else can he ask?
I’ve nothing left to give.
I’ve nothing left to say.
