If You Could Read My Mind

If you could read my mind You would feel my hands trembling And my body aching My soul burying What my heart’s not taking You would feel my veins running cold With the pain of the unknown And my mouth going dry From the words that have arrived You would see my head drained And my eyes growing tired From thoughts spinning Through nights left wired You would see me looking at you And everyone around us Wanting to never share this Or wish upon anyone else But if you keep reading You would see That I’m okay With what has come to be I wouldn’t change it Even if I could Because we aren’t handed Things that aren’t good I will learn from this mess In some way or another So give me your best shot You mother ------.
