When Time Dead Stops
every cell
is so tired
from straining to sit still
restless like i'm on the run
in this messed up world.
i wish i could forgive myself
as he does
and i wish i could love myself
as he does
and as each stubborn grain of stone
gets chipped away from who i used to be
i stand more sorely exposed raw with insufficiency
wish i could remember
who I am
as he does.
