-:empt-e:-

i couldnt finished it--
i dare save it for a rainy day
when dancing in the crystal sky
i could feel the words within me
pounding and rising
only to fall again and settle
unhappily in this empty matter.

it was only a matter of time
before i realize how wrong
this feeling was right in the middle
of you and me
as we kissed,
skulls left behind somewhere
a dark mass of flesh and penetration
missing.

somehow i was missing
that skull, that imperfection, and you
all three things
in which i prided myself on achieving
i lost in one fatal swoop of a kiss
drowning in the water.

and yet simplicity found me
in that corner
a huddled dry mass
of skin and bones
calling creation something unknown
as if it would be easier
to die with pain and fear.

i couldnt finish it--
stuck between my gapped and broken teeth
as if some hollow memory...
i could only serve those
who take the time to look
watch and wait
for my heart to stop
and for my life to begin.
