The Cracks

by RL MORGAN - Not entered

Why does she not answer me?
Does she not know of the pain I go through each waking hour.
The pain that threatens 
my very sanity.
The pain I welcome to my lonely heart 
for it shall be better then the emptiness I have grown so accustom too.
I know she is above me.
that I am but a grain of sand to her gaze.  
A grain of sand that is more and less 
and could be no more.
I have thrown my voice in the wind to her.
I have emptied my feelings into the rivers 
that lead to her.
But she flies no more in those winds.
she swims no more in those rivers.
So I grow restless in my dark.
I grow weary in her light.
I know I may never be again
in those arms
or even in the treading path
of those words
But to give up is to realize
there is nothing more I want
there is nothing more I need.
that there is a crack in
my once flawless jadedness.
And I must let the
cracks grow deeper.

Reason for writing:

    
I want people to read it.
