Down the Wrong Way

can you hear of
the shame going down
my throat the wrong way
what should chase it
how to wind through
the canyons of city
i tried to love i tried to thank
i tried to follow through
still broke hands
strain as they might
can't uncover yours from your face
grit as they might
even teeth can't hold you in
you've gone deaf and tear blind
away to stay away
and me choking on the swelling space
