I Feel Sick

About ending a relationship…
Silence envelops the moths inside,
flying into my gut wall,
again and again -

I feel sick.

My tongue of sandpaper,
hopes your heart isn't as fragile,
as mine.
And my tears wish they could
change the world for yours...

But,
I can no longer be the soul,
standing behind you, as you fall,
as I'm simply not strong enough
to catch you.
