My Burdened Heart

Beneath cold skies of night

My heart beats

Grasping to survive

Trying to not drown

In tears

Quietly I slip into velvet

Blackness

Cold air

Caresses my thoughts

I’m suffocating

Loss of hope

Forgotten dreams

Faith disappears

In the morrow

I’m crushed

Again

My burdened heart

Barely beats

My burdened heart

Beats toward

Nothingness

Nothing becomes safer

Than something

Absent moments

Collide with fears

I’ve no strength

Cold skies of night

Dressed in velvet darkness

Have stolen

My hope

My grace

My faith

The Quivering of Nothing

The space around me trembles

My mind is not still

Quivering objects taunt me

Threaten my reality

Keeping eyes closed

Keeps life still

Gazing down toward

The ground

Assures my logic

I am okay

Looking up

The quivering of nothing

Rattles my head

Keep still I scream!

Stop it!

Chairs don’t dance!

Lamps don’t jump!

My cup does not glide and slide

And shiver when filled!

The space around me quivers

My mind grabs and clings

To what is supposed to be

Not this shivering mess

That surrounds me
