I shall shoulder
the weight but
he will carry
the burden mine 
I will put
down and be
free from it 
but his is
that kind that 
he will keep 
all the way
through eternity for 
he carries his
in his heart 

A vast
emptiness a
nothing now 
that only 
the Universe 
and all
its parts 
can fill
a lack
of missing 
for missing 
implies had
once but
this once 
has never 
been nor
ever will 
for this 
once is 
the forever 

It’s okay 
to make 
do when
all you 
have to 
make is
due but 
after time
do doesn’t 
do anymore 
when it 
happens to 
come true 

Sometimes the skinny
branches that we
so tightly cling
to don’t keep 
us from falling 
but rather keep
us from flying 

I don’t play 
pick me up 
whether it be 
friends or lovers 
or pieces of 
things I leave 
things where they 
are have fallen 
or run to
I go get 
and move on 
leaving them behind 
my present is
the only place 
to be found
