i. You have curled
yourself up and you are
living in within the speck of
your eye. You are hoping for
someone, anyone, to look
into your distant gaze and
bring you back.

Just look.

ii. Your heart is not breaking;
the air has been let out
and it is sinking.
Deeper and deeper.

You are drowning.

iii. I am hiding
the salty-tear taste of
your sorrow beneath my
tongue. I am waiting for
you to turn sweet.

Don't look for it.
You don't need it.


iv. You are existing
in lost glances and silent
words. You are living in
between now and then.
You are existing in mere
moments.

Expand yourself.

v. I am here
for you in pained tears
and clenched throats.
When your heart has been
extracted in a drugless surgery,
pulled still beating from your
bleeding chest cavity,
I will be here.

Don't cry.
Breathe. Just breathe.
Just live.
Please.

Yay, two in one day.

It doesn't really seem to fit together.
It doesn't even seem to be about the theme sorrow.
I guess that's what happens when you try to write with writer's block. =\

Entry three for my 100 Themes Challenge.
