...

Every minute passed

Has seeped through a cloth

That was meant to be a sheet of steel.

I poured my heart into a disguise.

And there you stood -

Hunching, feeling no shame...

Watching as my sweat and tears

Came rushing down...

Down the waterfall containing

All the heart in which I poured.

My body felt nothing,

But my mind fooled me

Into believing that my back and my limbs,

And mostly my heart and soul

Ached with throbbing, burning pain.

And there you stood -

Hunching over, and feeling no shame.
