Useless voices ring

Meaningless actions

Badly performed theatre

Spinning around this form

Knelt figure in a shadowed corner

Illusive safe haven

You matter not!!!

…

Never here when it meant

When everything fell apart

Breathing slowed, ache eased

As you fell in front of me

Candle that burned too bright

Flame blown out too soon

And I froze in fear,

Shattered by pain

…

False words

Empty gestures

Nothing but wasted air

What could they do?

How can you help?!!

Stop this rain

Storm in an empty desert

Useless gift to a dying plain

…

I remember your voice

Remember you, every detail

Wise eyes filled with answers

I always needed, never asked

…

My gentle guardian

You promised

I’ll be here always

Stay by my side

You broke that oath

As I break my own

Tears sliding swiftly

Past words just as vacant

…

Never to hear your voice

I love you…

Fell your touch upon my skin

Your embrace in cold nights

Hear your laughter in the air

Never to see my faith again

Forged concern my only comfort

…

I’ll be with you

You said to me

You aren’t

Taken away

Ripped from my arms

Taking every hope

Every warmth

Every feeling

So I morn

For you and I

For broken promises

Two wasted lives

One taken too soon

One held by a frail thread

…

Leave me alone

I care not for you

Your fake words

Useless, worthless

Can they bring my love to me?

Glue these shattered pieces?

Abandon me again

I care not for that

All I have is myself

Faded memories

Destroyed dreams

…

Wish now to forget

Words you have said

Full of meaning

Brimming with hope

But they don’t leave,

Ruthless reminders,

Or allow me to rest

Follow you in the dark

…

But other words sound

Continue, you said

Oh why my love?

Why those words?

That quest I don’t wish?

After breaking your vow

Why can’t I break my own?

…

Eyes widen, sudden chill

Shivers cross my skin

Soft touch of invisible fingers

Voice I tried to forget

Yet wished to hear every moment

I kept my promise, it says

And for a second, pain stops

Tears lessen and cold vanishes

Bittersweet smile on my lips

…

I know you have,

Deep inside always did

Pain so blinding

And sorrow so deep

Accepting so hard

I won’t stop crying

Blood slowly dripping

Still aching injury

Never forget

…

I’m here, it whispers

I sigh standing up

Leaving that futile corner

Walking aimlessly

Don’t be afraid, it murmurs

Pledge you took from me

Against my own will

Keep going, it whispers

Just why, I ask

Then that answer

For me…

…
