Can’t eat,
can’t sleep.
I have walked a groove into these floors.
Tears drip, drip, drop.
No longer avoiding the creaky spots;
One step in reality,
The next in a dream.
Passing through the veil
As my mind whispers,
“I am still here with you”.
Reminding me i am alive.
Counting. Breathe,
Just breathe.
Eyes closed,
mind awake.
The furnace fires up and here I am.
