I will not be
back soon
I will not respond
to the call
of hope
Waiting for you
to see
I will be gone
a long while
Beyond the
terrain tread
lightly all
the years
Before
I have no want
for a place
Where sacrifice
is required for
self-preservation
I can’t quite wrap
my brain around
it
and my body
won’t let it go
I will not offer myself
to the dreams
held blindly
in the soul of denial
There is no greater
picture here
I will lay down
what I can
with
No case to rest
