splinters

splinters


if i only had the energy to rage,
if i only believed it might serve a purpose.

the hell of this indecision,
bitter, desperate place.

abandoned. used like a cheap toy,
thrown to the dogs.

life just fragments
broken glass, splinters, hurt.

the void gapes wide,
emptiness like a cavern.

i fall. smashed teeth, broken skin.
disfigured.

and i am alone again,
rejected.

the detritus that laps against
the shore of your perfect life.

silence

a hundred words



how am i supposed to hate
when all i did was love?

how do i stop wanting
when you were my forever?

i fall from the cliff
spearing the water like a bird

my aerodynamic arms
take me deep into the blue

i tug at the void,
my umbilical cord to absolution

liquid envelops me,
the comfort of your embrace

i am soft wood in a vice
air squeezed from my lungs

i am filled with
the cold, clear emptiness of you

you were a symphony
now there is silence
