Sweet stoicism
stifles the screams,
silences the sighs, sinks the soul
to numbness.
My heart is too hard to hurt.
My hands
too full to face the sky, my eyes
too focused to tear up with wild, wilful
tears.
Forgive me, lord.
Forgive me and catch me.
When my back finally breaks,
when my heart finally cracks,
when my tears finally fall,
and fall,
and fall, drowning me and all my patience,
strength, and fortitude,
When the agony of loss threatens to throw
me from the cliff,
catch me, lord.
Catch me.
