Untitled - Poem

And I give and give and give

Until I am no longer me

just pieces of you and

pieces of who you think I should be

I look in the mirror

who will I be today

will she still be loving

will she find her way

Will my heart break again

will I find a way

Will I try “too hard”

Will my soul continue to pay

Deeper and deeper I spiral

Into this remembered abyss

until the pitch wraps around me

An evoked bliss

And each of the pieces

From so so many

Try to make sense together

And get lost within me

I sink back into the black

My familiar chasm

The heartbreak my blanket

whatever may come

And still I continue on

Giving all that I can

For one glimmer of light

To bring me back to land

Riding the crashing waves

Lost at sea

Searching for the lighthouse

Built inside of me
