Naturally Disturbed

I’m deep

So deep

It bleeds

And you,

You’re hard

As rock

You’re double-blinded muck.

You’ll stay

You’ll leave

You take the best of me.

You’re in

You’re out,

You’re shallow, muddied-doubt.

You feel

I hurt

You are

Not worth

A damn. Instead,

We’ll slide across the earth.

You’re clay,

So soft

It turns into the rust

You left

To harden in my chest.

I went

To see

And there you were among the trees,

That drop

To lows

Of puddles on the shore.

To hold,

The ground

You’ve faltered on without a sound

Of pride

Or lies--

You’ll wave, I’ll say goodbye.

And I,

I wept

Into your shallow depth,

Where you

The joke,

Choked up in silent modes

Of life,

or force

That drown your nature’s course.
