place of dragons: sore broken

last night
  you were so tired
  sore broken
    in the place of dragons
  and I could not comfort you

place of dragons: pt. II

tears fall, shudder
attempt escape
within my heart
breaking me in a way
that cannot mend
tears fall, shudder
attempt escape
within my heart
for what I cannot do
and cannot give

hand that trembles
at what I cannot touch
lips as what I
cannot say
break the tears
from their place of hiding
pour them forth
in this simple
touch of pen
…touch of pain
i’d heal you if i could
