Torn

                 TORN                      
                                                      
                            Staring,glaring,hazing    
                             the force that pulls me
inward                                                
Outward towards you                                  
                  torn between love and reason        
                                         I know I
can't have processed you, include you, love you, hold
you, I'm torn       Don't go, okay                    
                               I understand, and
accept, I'm torn like the undertoe back into the
flowing sea to wash along another shore              
                                   Shut your noise,
echoing among mountains, valleys, and hills. Can you
hear, feel my cry, my life torn consisting of being
shut down                                            
      I'm finally free to speak, release, trust Shut
my noise? Torn Shut Yours.
