Crying is the new normal
Weeping
Sobbing
So lost in the depths of grief
No words express
Thousands upon thousands of lives
Not a single one
Could be saved,
For all valiant attempts
Cannot hold a human here
If they are wanted elsewhere
There was a time
When the darkness
Was so complete that I nearly
Forgot how to breathe.
There is a time for everything,
Over and over perhaps the time plays,
Until the everythings we once knew
Are no longer there and
We no longer have need nor recollection
Naked, I stop the tears from falling
Held in my lover’s arms
Gently he helps me begin to heal
Slowly
Softly
He calls me back to where he is
Be
Here
Now,
He calls the cluttered grieving wounded cells of me
And I return
Begin again
Over and over the everythings we know play out
