The shaking of your leg reminds me
As I lay beside you, in the dark alone
The world still turns and burns and runs outside me
Empty void between my flesh and bone
I try to breathe
In through my nose
And out through my nose
And place my focus where it goes
But I can’t silence the blistering thoughts
Once my circumstantial rage subsided
It’s myself that I derided
I can’t sleep and I can’t calm
I wish I could find some kind of balm
The soft blue light filters in from the next room
I wonder if it could color my mood
But when I turned my hate inside
An emptiness, a disconnect took me to reside
I can’t sleep and I can’t find
A reason to love this horrid rind
I fear I’ve lost the spark
To hold myself in kind regard
My sins I number against the stars
My hate burns me, it chars
