if i could crawl,
into a cave;
-i would.
and ever remain
an unknown
to most,
and those that knew
might understand
and hold a glass,
or wish at night,
or sing a song,
or say my name;
but no one
would ever
be able to touch
and know one
would ever,
be able to see,
my huddled form
in fetal distress
trying to regain
the brief moments
of calm~
before it all,
got too noisy
to bear.
