Defender
Jessie Santos
Hurt has become
A sense of habit
Routine build in
Over time, to repeat
And set
Further in
Beyond our control
Surviving alone
Burden defeat me
Deeper
Condemn me
Further inward journey
Taking over
Like silent clouds
Harbor their weight
Oh, so above
I couldn't save you
No, I couldn't save you
Hang their weight
Upon my neck
Tired
From constant trial
Deliberation
Lack of dedication
Loss for the many
Who fell to this
