I shout
You're distant,
I can't take in air
It's too nippy
It's too warm
Which is it?
Quit causing me
To shatter,
I can't mend it
Again.
What if it goes away
Tell me,
I keep yelling,
Don't you listen?
Can't you hear me?
Tell me!!
You stay hushed.
I'd prefer you were that way.
Right from the start.
I know it hurts,
My leaving,
You'd laugh,
Your chuckle brings
Darkness into me.
You're distant.
It leads me to stumble,
I'm uncertain,
Help me understand
If this is what's normal.
You behave like a jester,
Say something.
Help me know.
My ultimate departure.
The beldam,
Holds my soul.
It's ensnared;
Could you release it?
Your words rest buried,
With my soul.
