i am not

my heart cries

clearer tears than those from my eyes
my soul screams

louder than could ever come from my mouth
my life shatters

and is somehow now truer than ever

save me! i cry, and you reach out a hand

lazily
and i am not saved

hold me! i beg, and you pat my back,

absent minded,
and i am not held

love me! i plead, and you kiss my cheek,

eyes on her,
and i am not loved
