There has been a warning
That I have ignored
Lost track of all the times I’ve watched everything
unfold
A million times I must have thought it’s not my problem
Flags on the sidelines wave in distress
Won’t let me forget I’m overwhelmed by forgiveness
Weighing. Numbing. Sinking. Burning.
Why did you even bother? Why did you even try?
Neglect fact until it becomes fiction
I can’t feel, couldn’t feel it even when the rain began
to fall
I am lost in another sea of thought
Where the water burns my flesh
Weighing. Numbing. Sinking. Burning.
