Deep surrender

this won't be easy

but who would know?

it's all gone away

and that never goes away

my words always cared

they never mattered

it was never about me

and so I slept

as the expectations grew

and there I was

and there it went

all alone

it will go on as something else

neverending

overestimating

what are we?

we were, once was

on the page I am loss

one of many

my story sets into dusk

it was never about me

except when I offered sadness

or regret

or hope

and then took it away

and placed it in the trash

it's for no one

your woes are worse

when you have faith in me

but it was never about me

and it never should be

at least not now

in this moment

for however long this moment lasts

there's no urgency

not anymore
