How I forgot what love could have been

I stood myopic.

I stood forgotten.

I stood resolute to a fault.

Beneath gasps of breath

Concealing burdens breaking

My shoulders, my hands comforting

A face that no longer stood out

Removed and too far away

With gravity being the last

Burden I can barely hold,

For my toes lost the floor

The shadows are tugging me

And tightly strangling me

Unknowingly weighing me,

Until only seconds exist in me -

I stand without grace.

I fall continuously.

I lay stagnant.
