Abandon

I’ve run through grass
Met the waters edge
The flame reflects in my eyes
I can’t move
My heart is racing
My breath, steady
My charred remains float on the water
You look at me in disbelief
What we’ve built
Has been leveled
My tears have been shed
They’ve already dried
They weren’t for you
I don’t know that they were for me
I step into the water
I shiver with anticipation
My voice quivers
Laments drifting to the west
You reach out
One last time
Grasping for me
But I’ve already gone
Left wading in the waters
Forever searching
For what I’ve lost

We’re left apart

Silenced in time

Yet echoes of the night

Consumption

I've found you again

I wasn't looking for you

In fact

I believe it was me who was lost

Tell me you love me again

Tell me you'll keep me warm

Tell me all of your lies

Lies that stitch themselves to my skin

Lies that whisper from an empty closet

Self induced lonliness

Selfless silence

Silenced

Close your eyes

Close mine

Closed closeness

I shelter with this feeling

I shelter in the nothing

The consumption of nothing

A never ending stream of nothing

I've found you again
