Petitions Egress

This pain is deadening as I sit with it.

All else has drained from my existence.

This heart is mountainous and cannot be moved again.

All I feel is weight and sweat.

This ache is shattering as I live with myself.

All I’ve ever known has been replaced.

This breath is moist with regret and fear.

All that used to flow has ebbed.

This life is deafening as I live it.

All spirit has evaporated.

This ancient soul subsides.
