Hey this is way better, suspenseful even at parts, one question though....

Sunday Walks

Thoughts aren’t worth the cracks in
the pavement I drag my feet across. 
My heels scraping the small rocks
that had rolled into my weathered path

Emotions find a mirror sitting at the 
top of a garbage can overflowing with bullshit.
My arm can’t help but launch a nearby 
stone, shattering the fabricated reflection.

Will bends like the feeble blades of grass I
run my shaking hands through in an empty park.
My palms sweat when I fail to recognize the
back of my hand and its dark blue veins.

Heart stops at the harsh edge of the
woods where nothing meets Everything. 
My knees buckle and I fall before the 
proud oaks I have nothing in common with.

Sorrow is the slow roll of a single 
bead of sap down a wounded tree.
My eyes can barely perceive the subtle motion
as gravity consumes both time and space.

Memory clouds the sky, as a thunderous                       Nice addition to the piece, but 
storm devours the once peaceful expanse.
My legs turn home before my mind can 
abandon the pleasures of a carefree day.                  i thought the day was full of sorrow and bullshit and emptiness?

Reality meets me at the door to my 
apartment like a cool draft in an empty restaurant. 
My face searches for the right reaction, only
to manufacture a smile that is in danger of extinction. 

Thank you for your thoughtful remarks.

My Thoughts aren’t worth the cracks in
the pavement I drag my feet across.
My heels scraping against the small rocks
that have rolled into my static path
 
My Emotions find a mirror sitting at the
top of a garbage can overflowing with bullshit.
My arm can’t help but launch a nearby
stone, shattering the otherwise functioning reflection.
 
My Will bends like the feeble blades of grass I
run my shaking hands through in a park by myself.
My palms sweat as I fail to recognize the
back of my hand and its dark blue veins.
 
My Heart stops at the hard edge of the
woods where Nothing meets Everything.

proud oaks I have nothing in common with.
 
My Sorrow is like the slow roll of a single

My eyes can barely perceive the subtle motion
as gravity consumes both time and space.
 
My Reality meets me at the door to my
apartment like a cool draft in an empty restaurant.
My face searches for the right reaction, only
to settle with on a smile in danger of extinction.
