head clutter dreams

watching the tear roll
down a cheek
for a week
feeling weak
so to speak
just wishes the day
to get on and end
a thought to send
at the corner bend
won’t pretend
if it’s all a game
don’t want to play
still will stay
until the day
told to go away
seemed so real but
seams always rip
missed with the razor whip
on a trip
lost the grip
loose ends frayed
he ties them up tight
alone each night
blurring sight
and not quite right
watch the tear
dries where it rests
word up off the chest
surely must be blessed
birds falling not far from nests
refusing to fly
in any direction
might be prone to infection
future becomes constant correction
no help from the reflection
glass broke years ago
under a scarred fist
but swing missed
just got pissed
instead of kissed
tear really doesn’t exist
now
if it ever did
ran away and hid
thoughts morbid
into the pot right under the lid
keep the head on straight
with a rhyme
too much time
none to rewind
or fall far behind
up now down
losing only to gain
won’t stop for pain
or wait for the rain
all might be in vain
will someone hear
the silent screams
busting seams
coffee came with too many creams
head woke up cluttered with
too many dreams…
