Ari Ing Poet Free verse

2am

I try so hard 
not to hear 
your quiet tortured sobs
ripping through my head

I try to sleep
but I can still feel 
the weight of all your tears
weighing down my pillow

I try to ignore 
searing pain gnawing 
my every tender limb
from the blades you took to yours

I try to close
my bloodshot eyes to block 
images of your bloodied body
laying beneath once clear water 

I try to move
but its as if Im frozen standing
watching you fade away countless 
times, your heart never stopping

I try to reach
hoping to touch your weary face
wanting to wipe the misery
from your beautiful eyes

I try to show
you I exist but every time
I reach for you I break the mirror
and youre gone once again

-ARI
