droop

in my hands i hold
the weight of your shadow
and the pain in my soul

i let the night
graze past my mind
and feel myself
watching my eyes
crack
as the cold i can never feel
freeze my tears
from within

i have war in my guts
and hurricanes in my chest
a world of cause and effect
punching holes in my lungs

i gasp for air
sobbing uncontrollably
like a motherless child

in my hands i hold
the weight of your shadow
and the pain in my soul

the littlest pieces
that keeps me moving.
