All That I Crave

Through my haze of unshed tears

I barely distinguish you

Striding, with no backward glance,

Until you are out of view



And still I will not break down

I will not seek that release.

This is the way that life is

And I must find my own peace.



The answer is in hard work

And so I’ll become its slave

Until exhaustion claims me

And rest is all that I crave.
