parallel lines

lost, broken,

alone,
in a foggy crevasse,

wedged between

sanity | madness | anguish.

i lose, break,
memories taunting,
waking thoughts,

stripping me

bare | naked | exposed.

i survive, barely breathing,

slipping deeper,
into nothingness,

feeling little

| shattered | numb.

i am incomplete, without you,
fatigued,

gnawed by

emptiness | desolation | pain.

i persist, each breath futile,

crushed, yet alive,

comforted knowing only,

that you breathe | you live | and  love.

the sleepy willow … … …

sleepy willows reach, branches heaving,

weighed down, outstretched arms bearing the burdens,

yet ever welcoming,

to the solitary bird with tired wings, settling on a tipping branch,

seeking respite … … …
