A Hollowing of Bones

I’m here 

So dark and cold 

bones whispering

Breathing in the night air

Tears hot with pain 

burning heart

beating chest 

Unable to breathe 

Is this a curse? 

To be alive 

So full of love 

and so full of pain.

To know surrender as an ally 

A dear friend

Will I get back up this time?

Will I be able to fly again? 

Can I turn this into something good? 

I know I can...

But the tears fall heavy tonight 

And all I can do is look up
