Woe
My tears have dried.
I can't cry,
how hard I try.
I have carried
my pain so long,
It has become my comfort zone.
I measure each hurt
with my pain,
trivialize their worth,
move on...
One day,
there will be heartbreak,
The dams will smash
and flow unchecked.
I fear it will be out of gear.
Avalanche eroding
all things dear...
