Ballad for the uninterested

Take it off, this failure magnet,
only wide enough to see the sky,
but not enough to see your eyes,
sunken, black rimmed, hopeless

And we all sink, it has settled in
you won't extend your hand when the time comes
you will just sink and let me drown.

It's so hard to see, beyond this wall
you put up for me, because it's all around you,
impenetrable.

Actions speak louder than words, and we deteriorate the recoil
because the line has been cut & why are we so sure of falling?
why can't we see beyond our eyes to the inevitable come down?
that's where the healing begins
but there is no doctor only medicine
