Suffering
July 21, 2012
“Roofs dripping down from their empty homes into the water.
Watching in silence, trying to calm the waves in my head.
A chaotic storm filled with loneliness and longing.
With only suffering in my heart letting me know I’m still here.
Alive. But barely.
Shadows and pain are all that’s left.
You left.
Cigarettes sinking in the water; disappearing.
Only smoke swirling around my heavy head and heavy heart now.”
