That impermeable shell of sorrow and self-pity. <br />It drips a veil of tears around your face, <br />Crystallizing water molecules around your heart. <br />Because all you ever wanted had the chance to walk away <br />And took it. <br /> <br />The weight of 'blame' is heavy. <br />You're the only one who can feel it. <br />Insects eating holes in sand dunes, <br />And you expect it not to crumble. <br /> <br />A silly, backwards beast has conquered the mountain <br />Knees bent inwards, saliva rolling upwards. <br />No sense of sound nor touch, <br />Dwelling deeply inside itself. <br />Swaying as it falters. <br /> <br />Tectonic plants crash, crumble and sink. <br />A spinning ball of mostly empty space. <br />We hardly even exist.<br /><br />Emily Beck<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/that-s-funny-when-you-hear-it-out-loud/
