see my face?

i try so hard.

to keep it straight.

and not furrow.

from the weight.

of all this.

– pain

see these eyes?

i hold them open.

wide as rain.

to keep them dry.

– every day.

see me hurt?

i know you must.

if only cause.

no ones face.

is quite so straight.

and no ones eyes.

are quite so dry.

– all the time.

no ones.

not even.

– mine.
