Raw

Cold reigns with no thaw

Wounds ache in the raw

The breath that I need

Comes thin as a reed


No sound comes out

While my insides shout

Left alone too long

 Now weak once strong


Pushed into the air

Care falls to despair

Thoughts too hard to think

A cup I can't drink


Where are you I cried

I'm too empty inside

This doubt is too full

Fear begins its dark pull


This need I can't fill

The empty's too real

Bring shade til I'm done

With these trips 'round the sun
