Untitled, Yet, Perfect

by Kalie M   Jan 14, 2008


My heart is weak, my mind will fail
my life will change, they all will bail.
my body falls, eyes will close
why me? i ask; who the hell knows.

my hands are empty, my knees collapse
i cannot read, i follow wrong maps.
my life's confusing, this is a mess
why am i not receiving progress?

my body is fragile, my mouth is compressed
i need to move, yet i long for some rest.
my dreams are haunting, my sleep is brief
why can't i awaken to a little relief?

my phone isn't silent, my house isn't hollow
i am not lonely, but there's no one to follow.
my bed is warm, yet my body is cold
why are surroundings' fine, but i'm no longer bold?

my fingertips are pressing, windows are cracked
my future isn't clear, yet this life is jam packed.
my decisions are awry, but i'm not even trying
why is it on you that i'm constantly relying?

my mind isn't depressed, but my heart is not whole
i can no longer fake it, i can't give up this goal.

your heart is weak, but your mind will not fail
your life will change, but i'll never bail.
i catch your fall, yet your eyes, too, will close
why you? i ask; who the hell knows.

my questions are subtle, my words are few
yet my body can barely breathe;

...it's all because of you.
