I am everywhere

You don’t know me
But I know you
I am everywhere
And I am watching you

I am in the soil you use
To grow your crops
That feed the people
Of your country

I am in the things
at the grocery market
You have bought me
And you have eaten me

I am in the drugs you take
The pills you swallow
I’ve saved your life
But you have never saved me

I am in the streets
In the air you breathe
In the shoes you walk
In the car you drive

I am in your home
I’m in your clothes
I’m on your couch
And I am inside of you

The blood
Which has once ran through my veins
Now runs through you
And throughout you

You cannot wash me out
Or clean me off of you
For I am in your drinks
And I am in your soaps

You hate me; you love me
You tip me; you eat me
You cut me; you blood me
You have me. You kill me.

Do not forget
Though I mean nothing to you
That you can never escape me
For I am everywhere.

It Hurts…

I’m so cold without you here to keep me warm. But I don’t think I’ll have to wait any longer. After my body is tired of shivering, all I’ll have to do is wait.

It hurts too much to breathe because your air still lingers in me. But I think I can fix that. If I could just fill my lungs with water, then I can wash you out.

I don’t like how my emotions affect the way I think. But no matter. If I tie a rope around my neck, I can stop the pain in my heart from crawling into my head.

If I could start over, I would spend more time with you. I know I could start over. I just have to cut deeper along my arm to find that restart button.

I hate how I’m over here, and you’re over there. If only I could fly. All I need is a running start and a tall building. Then I could see you again, for the very last time.
