Slide Away
a poem

This eye, always on the prize
Now it leaves me, now it slides away
All those words I used to say
Now my vocabulary slowly slides away
My head always held high
I weep now when I try
I can’t glimpse the stars now
I can’t steal the sky
It is so hard now to raise these arms
Lift myself away from harm
I can’t hold you, reassure you with words I say
I couldn’t stop you if you tried to run away
This love of ours, all that I pray
Will be the very last thing to slide away.
