Krista

I'm weighted
down
leaden
with the
ways of the world

Today
someone's life
ended before
it began

And you've
become a
cavern
sucked dry
past tense
usefulness

Stripped bare
you're burning
bridges
left and right
trying to become
who you are
alone

It's never wise
to start sculpting
a second
when you
haven't even
finished the first

I understand
choices and
consequences
but that doesn't
stop me from
sleeping the whole day
through

Knowing I can't
be there
for you.
