This Life

This life
Is all I have
And that’s enough
To break my heart.

I trust the lies
And mend the ties
Of worn out shoelace friendships
And yet I still trip over them

Where do I go from here, my dear?
Let this heart of mine bleed a trail for you to follow
And show you where death has its lonesome place in my life.

Today the sun shines bright alive, thriving in the cosmos
Like my mind in the cosmos
Swirling under bone, scalp and hair

Marry this poem with your soul
Spin out of control
With the love you feel for your life
The only thing you have

It’s got to be enough
to break the heart.
