Gather

I try and pick up
the broken pieces
of this shamble of
a life
to carry all
the things
I've dropped
to break

I'm prying crumbs
from the carpet as
I loosen my grip of
The bloody rope
That tethers to this
3
ton
anchor
Trying to convince
myself that it's not
worth anything

Not worth the
pain or the
blood. or the
time I spend
looking in the
distance to find
answers to this
never ending
