Heavy, heavy heart
shoving me downward,
pushing me into
cold darkness, alone.
I am trapped, confined,
pinned under a weight
I can never lift.
The bitter knowledge
engulfs, seeps into
my broken spirit,
forces surrender.
My eyes spill their tears,
my lips both quiver.
I cannot stop.
I grieve for your loss
… and for my
happy ignorance.
