Speechless
by Matt Sulham

What can I say,
Why I should spoil
Your joy,
Your happiness?

We both knew this fate -
I knew, I know,
Yet I wish for something else,
Something for me.

I grab harder
But my dreams become sand -
Flowing, slipping, escaping me,
Crumbling this Emerald City.

I feel joy
I feel jealousy
I feel life being fulfilled
I am empty.
