Inventory

Out of space
Out of time
Out of sight
Out of mind

Out of patience
Out of energy
Out of strength
Out of sanity

Out of ideas
Out of words
Out of solutions
Out of hope

But there’s still some love

Out of cheeks to turn
Out of tears to cry
Out of masks to wear
Out of souls to die

Let’s wrap this up
There’s nothing left
Except a little love
And a lot of pain.
