Boulder than the sun — photo by G.A. Botero

It is hard to explain

Unexpected pain swells my heart

Puts a knot in my throat

For no reason at all

***

The reason, I can’t tell

It could be the wars on this earthly hell

But it is not, that I know

For no reason at all

***

It’s hard to breath

As hard as pushing a boulder through the snow

Who knew the soul could weigh so much?

Puts a knot in my throat

***

The beacon in the distance

turned out to be a demon

I couldn’t tell from afar

Unexpected pain swells my heart

***

Giving you up

Challenges my addicted soul

I know I’ll come back

It is hard to explain

***

The end
