Reflections

Oh why does it hurt so much? It never ceases to pain The lump in my throat that never fades away Tensed my muscles so tired of being alert fear that clutches on to them gnaws at the core loneliness that I drain in chills my bones O blackened tired eyes Just how much can you cry? looking at the empty road ahead even the lashes seem heavy to bear Of thoughts that forever spin like a record set on loop I question this pain and its neverending affair with the heart.
