I know I should not expect
Things laid out when I come home
Food on a plate
Or to expect the one I need the most
To be there
Such is life
It follows no set guidelines
No etiquette rules does it have to abide by
In fact, it merrily takes these things
And shreds them in front of your very eyes
My soul's weariness
Shows even more on my face
My eyes are sunken and shadowed
Even when my heart smiles
My eyes cannot match its joyful cries
Tears are more likely now
Than a smile ever will be
But I carry the choice
To one day create in myself
A different person
When I feel this way
My will to survive dissipates
And in apathy I will not eat
In sorrow, I will not smile
In pain, I will coat myself in punishment
As I search again and again
For a healing touch
For someone to take me aside
And deliver the necessary balm of words and touch
...I am in limbo
