Half-Full

Life swirls and spins,

As the sun comes out the ice thins.

I'm on the ice, realizing, my equilibrium is gone..

Suddenly, I'm falling like a helpless fawn.

My heart is filled with millions of emotions,

Reluctantly, I must continue with my daily motions.

I tried to hold my tears in,
But like an animal is locked up in a pin,

They screamed and clawed to be set free,

Now my eyes are burning as if they've been stung by a bee.

I'm not sure what hurts more,

When someone physically leaves,

Or when a friendship in progress weaves

Another direction and I'm left feeling sore.

I don't want to continue to love,

When, in return I get a hateful shove.

I know that I'm incredibly selfish,

And to make me disappear, could be your one wish.

However, for now, I have to get back up,

Looking, to see, that half-full is my cup.
