Breaks My Heart

It breaks my heart that you were not honest.
It breaks my heart that you hid it from me.
It breaks my heart because I thought.

I thought we were close.
I thought we were good.
I thought I had lifelong friend in you.
I thought, but I should have known.

Slow Down, Close Your Eyes

 When your mind is cloudy,
When your head wants to rest,
And all you can do is worry,
About all the things that are a mess. 

The work you need to do.
The places you need to go.
But your mind needs to rest.
Your head needs a pillow 
And you need to stop.

Slow down, close your eyes.
Take a breath, it’s okay to stop.
Slow down, close your eyes.
Take a breath, it’s okay to stop.

Feeling guilty  
When I rest my head.
When I need more sleep.
When I can’t go on, I need to rest.
 
Slow down, close your eyes.
Take a breath, it’s okay to stop.

A Feeling of Failure.

It feels like a kick in the gut.
A feeling of failure.
A feeling of defeat
Dejected and cast away.
What more could I do?

I tried everything I could think of.
Each and every day.
Still nothing works.

It feels like being trapped.
Can’t breathe, can’t move.
But still, you do all you can.
But nothing will work.

An ache in my heart.
My entire body falls to pieces.
Left on the ground as if none of it really mattered.
