inside

i dont know why things change..
or they die.
my eyes are like silver, dulled throughout time..
and my heart feels like glass
that just won't break.
all this weight
is nothing.
i wander within the walls i've built;
the absence of certainty keeps me awake
when i want nothing more
than to dream.
you give me hope. but only to distract me
from the reality that i lack the
capacity
to infinitly love.
i want so badly to scream the songs
the angels sing
when i'm on my knees,
but it seems i've forgotten the words.
the idea of goodbye impairs me; surrenders me to fate.
things change, or they die..
i think of you, more often than i'd like to admit.
