Stuck

 A sandy whisper at her back

And callous hand atop her heart

Consistent patterns breaking sweat

With eyes unseeing, snugly shut

Malignant doubt, sharp and fresh

Possesses bones and tender flesh

Infects the mind with binding chains

Just hope, despite the blight remains

Just will, unyielding push to stand

To grow, to be seen, to understand

Within his flesh, genetics lock

She builds a fortress, while they talk

She props the bridge as sniggers die

And then emerges to their silent cries

Oh so she wishes, for the hundredth time

Embedded deep within, supine

As whispers slither, and heart pumps

Within his body like a drum

She dreams, and yearns for her own breath

She'll die...A loss this is, a mess...
