Jitterheart

Known at heart
It’s seeping through
To fold or fail
Just speak the truth

And so it goes
You know it shows
In every line
In every moan

Bones wail beneath the grin

Step on what you were before
That doesn’t matter any more
Anything you left behind is shed and done
And so it goes

No room for a jitterheart

This road grows longer
With every step you take
And these mountains grow stronger
With every wanderer they break

Sisyphus built this slope
From sweat and grit and stupid hope
Doesn’t matter, anyhow
You know how it goes

So it goes
No room for a jitterheart
