All My Life

All my life, my voice has been heard silence.

And my heart has been a beat away from me,

Slowing into hushed rivers of blood,

Passing through as crimson violence.

Fugacious waves of rained out sunshine

Left rainbows over my washed-out eyes,

And my earth straightened into a crooked line

With dissipated orbits of tall tale lies.

All my life, I mistakenly believed.

Now I know that my fate is sealed

to never be open—never be fulfilled.

And disconnection will reign—impossibly relieved.
