O! To the wailing wall of worry!
It calls.
It beckons,
In the weeping and waiting -
As it prowls with hunger
and desires the life of your soul.
Must you give it up?
Bit by bit like
Dropping petals from a wilted flower?
And
THEN
What have you?
As the sorrows consume you
With bitterness and sour laughter,
You scream from loneliness.
They never told you!
- you say -
You never knew!
The contract signed,
You walked towards it.
O! How it shrank with every step you took!
