the rain slides down the window
the same shade as the gray sky
reflecting the shadows of my heart
i fit any box but each dries me up more
behind, the dark mountains loom
as unreachable as my lost happiness
raindrops are wiped away and fall again, unending
nothing ever stays
there’s more but i shut my mouth
emotion i cannot give voice to
i give up again, silent cracks.
they deepen within my mind, aching, yawning open
every day the mountains crumble
bowing under the weight of ancient water
their own weight and the merciless onslaught of wind
but unlike the earth i am a dead planet
no heat in my core to keep the world moving
