Burdens

unfinished...

If only I could capture you

And the spaces here between us too

In halls and walls that hide the stars

We linger on, distorted shards

With broken wings we learned to fly

And chase the dreams that slowly die

We tasted the bitterest fruits of life,

Rejection and loneliness, sorrow and strife

In the shadows of a darkened room

We whistle to our nameless tune
