Mud

i cry my tears for you each day

into the soft dry earth.

i watch as dust turns into mud

like watching my own birth.

i crawl out of my comfy womb

to face another day.

i walk into my shards of glass

to try and find my way.

i hear you laugh behind me

but i try to hide the pain.

i know you'll never love me

like the sun can't love the rain.

i'll wait forever, right here, for you

you will come back i know.

i gather all the strength i can

to soften another blow.

i cry my tears for you each day

into the soft dry earth.

i watch as dust turns into mud

like watching my own birth.
