Landslide
As time went by, I started to
give up— give up on you.
I was tired of the rejection.
I was tired of the anger.
I was tired...
My enormous efforts
to get through to you
exhausted me. Your thick skull—
refusing my words.
Day after day,
I found myself hiking up a landslide.
Each step I took, up the
loose land, it pushed me away.
Countless times I have been
crushed by crumbling rocks.
Hurt by their hardness,
harmed by their hate.
All to try to get through to you.
