“I Wish That Were True”

1 min read

By Isreal John

There’s nothing to say.

There’s nothing to do.

I wish that could be the end of it.

I wish that were true.

I know what to say.

I know what to do.

But in the end I sit and let the feeling brew.

It festers and pesters.

It gnaws at my heart.

Taking many shapes and forms.

It speaks the loudest when at dark.

I know what it wants.

I know what it seeks.

But it has been many weeks and for many weeks 

I’ve felt so weak.

I want it to stop.

I need it to stop.

I can barely speak. 

I feel so weak.
