I treat you as a human
scream in my ear
distract my soul
your bloodless heart bleeds
yet your mouth is the eyes which cry
I watch as your soul shatters before me
like glass, it crumbles to the ground
mixing with the soil
as your tongue dries, I wither away
my raw heart emphasizes with you
I could never imagine your pain,
the thoughts which keep you awake,
or the things you never share
but you still look me in the eye
and loathe my very existence
yet I stand before you
as the sign you must face,
I may be the last human to treat you as one.
