Melting Brokenness

My heart is touched
By the ones I love so much
And I can’t bear the loss
Bearing the heavy weight of cost
Of all this time
And everything that’s mine
Will one day belong to the sky
We do not know the hour we die
Or the day or the year
All I know is that a tear
Slides down my face
When something goes to waste
Because it was not said
And it pounds in my head
As I’m lying in bed
Hoping to stay warm
And all form
Is permeable to
The water that just wears through
Our steady soul
And the waves roll
Over the Burren floor
It was once at the bottom of the ocean and what’s more
It’s solidity
Is only apparent when it’s taken from me
To go sliding away
I close my eyes to the day
And embrace the night
Have people ask; “are you alright?”
And yes I am, but no I’m not
Like asking a candle is it hot
As it slowly melts
This is made to be felt
As it sits in my chest
And holds the people I love the best
In the Kilglass sun
What if everything is the One
