You Look Like You Lost Yr Bestfriend of Something

what they all say
in passing

I'm withered, dry and dripping
     with emotion
              from this fasting

throwing weight around, I flail

along muddy ground
                         senses numb before
                         awakened from the storm
                         midnight passing into dew
                          to finally understand anew,

the daylight from the dark
  my love snuffed out 
           before a spark
           of incandescent sunlight

on my shoulders straight

  the way we know that all in life

               is realized by fate...
