Souless sorrow we call it
Pain of mother animal
She weeps not a single tear
But wails her pain in wildness
No spark of intelligence
So she cannot feel a thing
Not the chill of her lost babe
An empty nest in the night
She is watching
One black eye follows
A twitch tells the tale
A signal of scent
Family is around
She is content
My deepest fear is that my truth is wrong
I’ve got the tune, but picked the worst song
And time won’t tell
The things I need
Won’t come to me
Only memories
I’m treading through these days of night
Trading forgotten gods for light
And time knows well
The things I need
To truly be
My version of me
I’m watching the season’s as they die
And praying there’s something left to try
That time will tell
That time will tell
