Off guard
Tear heavy eyes close to the pain held behind them
Anchors, weights to wait out evading sleep.
There will be no peace tonight with a dark heart in pieces,
Rendered to dust upon impact. When does the shattering end?
One step leads to the next. Turn and turn and find God has brought you to a parallel circle.
NOTHING is by accident.

I’m familiar with this place, how powerless we feel on these nights. Thank you for posting this.
Thank you for reading
I liked the imagery in the opening lines to convey the weight of pain. I felt a heaviness upon reading them.
Thank you
