just a sliver...

a little slice will do

just enough for you to tell

it was just enough for you.

got enough to go around

so I can share my pain

just a little bit for nothing

is nothing left to gain.



damn, my heart hurts

hard to hide the way I feel

seems my downs outweigh my ups

and borrowed time is time to steal.

better off to keep your space

dismal hearts breathe discontent

and I just can't make the promise

you won't find less than you sent.



oh, I've felt the touch of loving

seems to be a moment rare

and, to those who've given freely

I am blessed by all you share.

but, the depth of this uneasy

brings a hollow to my soul

and the sweetest words just filter

leaving part instead of whole.



and to you, who's sweet intentions

bring me pause with simple touch

I'll reciprocate in measure

just to show I care as much.

but, I'll have to ask forgiveness

as my heart is put to test

and my joy is sometimes hidden

far beneath my words at best.



oh the depths of this depression

finds its strength by breaking peace

and it suffocates the fires

borne as words take sweet release.

and the poet's words lie idle

with his vain attempts to try

and sometimes their best intentions

fail like wings to weak to fly.
