I don't Think I could Possibly Get Any More Saddened

My life has shifted,
shattered into some broken glass
In the mornings I walk around,
destined to fail at my own heart
I punch numbers and tears into
this
I have to get back to the
green trees
and the summer stains
In the South my happiness lies and
waits

it calls to me

I can't understand how
the two things I need most are
so far away from each other
so opposite
so impossible

and so unwilling to compromise

There wouldn't be any value

There wouldn't be any value in it if we're so easy, life greatest treasure is an equal measure of Something that must be lost in sacrifice, how else would we know what is truly important? I love the way you write so whimsical and real there is a twist of elegance and beauty in all your harsh truths and lies wonderful as always! Hugss
