Towering

Running out of time
To make it up to you 
Running out of space
To move these mountains

Always sprinting
Then pausing to catch air
And wondering if maybe
A consistent pace would go further

But time is running out
And you’ll never know 
Never ever know
That everyday I choke on these words
They drown me in their desperation 
To get through my sewn lips
They catch on my teeth 
So I chew on them 
And swallow them down for another day

Space is dwindling
And these words have become 
A towering mountain 
Of my own construction
