there are no more words
to describe hurt,
life finds new ways
to inflict pain,
we are open wounds,
slow to close,
life brings another wave,
its salt is torture
we reach for one another
we reach for love
we hold fast
we get back up
we do what we can,
to make it through

Chasing the Moon
there's a life
I dream of leading
when I'm here:
body on the brink of broken,
spirit shaken,
mind unable to create,
one throbbing ache
an open pain
I bleed for everyone,
so they won't bleed themselves -
the thought of helping
a small salve on the wounds -
I see this dream clearly,
as I see the light in your eyes,
I want to go there,
I want to take you,
but I am spent,
lacking the energy to chase dreams,
for now,
I'll save a thought
for hope;
one day soon
I'll chase down the moon
