Crowded

Is the shattered heart that beats within my heavy chest 

I find myself crying

Eyes craving rest

Stuck on this tear stained fabric sofa

My soul yearns for her back

To hold her safe, my precious girl

I wish I could fallback

My memories collide with a sudden feeling

I need to get out, my mind begs for healing

Hunger consumes each and every thought

My screaming stomach begins to rot

Crowded

Are the busy streets filled with paper

Missing, they say

I cannot escape her

I dash into a shop

Seeking a patch for my broken heart 

I take a sip of soup and the memories start

Memories of birth, laughs, happiness, joy

This unexpected soup flashes everything back

I sip and sip and sip and sip

Searching for happy memories to drown my hardship

Crowded 

Is my damaged brain

Loaded with grief, unescapable pain
