Lips dry,
Head up,
I can make it.

Arms empty,
eyes glaring down,
I can make it.

Empty space by my side,
tears fall like weights,
I can make it.

Heart tears in two,
Mind loses sanity,
I can make it.

Souless body,
loneliness continues,
I failed.

Who do you think you are, Erick? Alan Sitomer? Your third poem already? I appreciate the twist in your concluding stanza. Nice.
