I've seen Enough

Because sometimes you want to just stop. Everything. Press pause and bury your head. But when you're done with that...When you've cried enough for today...I'll take your hand, no matter how much it shakes, I won't let go.

So you ease your back against the wall

to slide down it's slivered surface

and Wrap your arms around your knees

It helps with the feeling of the fall

Shaking hands are hidden best when clinched

like tears amongst the rain that falls

You Stop the quiver of lips, hold them

in between teeth opened to breathe, deep

The mortar of past decisions explode around you

And You swear the shrapnel pierces

Pieces you didn't even know you had left

The silence is deceiving, because they just keep coming
