Counting

everything is in
the same place as it always is
maybe a few shufflings
this is the moment that counts
i turned and faced that wall
when you rose up and offered me
words that cut open my heart
i raged and made you listen
to my bloodied voice
i am ashamed of myself
but you didn't listen, you can't
you are trapped with steeled eyes
and a head full of nightmares
and i pray often you will see yourself
for what you are
the light of my eyes
dimmed by your angst...
