My Dead Language

What a sense of relief

What a sense of relief

Your touch has placed

Upon my listless heart

What kind of madness

Has corrupted my mind

And still you thrive

No quite in vitality

More with grief

I can’t believe the life you manage

The soul you somehow keep

I am hardly aware of your beauty

Hidden, while I weep

And I weep

Prospering outside

Prospering deep

-Jennifer Barajas
