Day breaks
Resolve
It takes everything
To stay awake
But sleep steals
All you’ve steeled yourself for
As you fall into
This rut of least resistance
It feels just like
Falling out of love
Thin string
Frays and snaps under the weight
The mask
Falling to the ground
Cracking
To again be donned
At the first sign of light
Now forcing its way
Through to weathered, tired eyes
But I’d gladly hold my peace
If it hadn’t slipped out of my reach
With morning light
This morning’s light
It feels just like
Falling out of love
