    I’m going to throw up.

     

    There are no words left to say–
    I swear I will listen anyway.

     

    I see you. I promise I see you.
    I cannot look away.
    I will not look away.

     

    There is not a single note
    I can hold long enough
    to be a requiem for thousands.

     

    You could have lived.
