it wears my soul down
to the core
this restless need
unpronounced fury

I know I can't run
          (save me!)
I know I have to face it
mark away
the demons

but every day
losing battle
where are my warriors
where is
this golden one?

who can take me?
carry me with
his smile
relax
these tired bones
          (oh weary flesh!)
and make them return
to Eden

bliss
