Just another day at work

I stand at the edge

Of this emptiness

This enormous,

Whistling void,

Dizzy with its Delirious depth.

Your tears

In my eyes

Your ache

In my heart.

I can’t take your burden

Can I explain Your pain?

As I leave you —

Your many rooms

Magnified loss

The lack of laughter —

Can silence echo?

Does grief seek out grief?

The ghost I can’t unsee

May give us relief

His eyes, they still haunt me

My fear must not daunt me.

I’m shackled to sorrow —

To a suffering shadow —

Inspire me to be brave —

Help me.

HELP me.

There’s lives

We can save.
