My Pride
A simple dawn requires my cue
Sunset remembers the nature of me
but no one knows me,
Regularity endures inquisitions
about nothing...
and
that's the nature of
me
I know how
to know everything
and face nothing
But I cannot engage my heart
Simplicity requires us, my love,
but that I cannot endure...
my soul relies on the emptiness
For in that grave
I can craft prose
I can live as if
we never were but for this song
I can wallow in my empty pride
I can deliver a regularly
immersed set of spiteful
wails
I can singularly look back...
I can reach for you,
but my pride won't
