What Better -

Hunger and anger
Pain and rage
Whispers tell me it won’t always be this way
Someday I will see your face

Quietly, softly
I cry in the dead of night
My hands reach out in the nothingness
Darkness searching for light

Whispers tell me you’re near me
I am lost in apathy
Could I feel you,
Even if you were touching me
I wonder, I wonder

Writhing in emptiness
Decayed in acrid loneliness
I struggle against myself
I bathe in the rejection
And I run from love

I know I need you
I feel you
But I cannot see you
Against the shadows of myself

And could you handle this
Pain and rage
Would you just wipe it all away
Or would you just walk away
And leave me stranded

Have you left me stranded…

Colder
Alone
Lost
Subjected and affected
Host of thoughts infected
Afflicted

I’ll lay here waiting
Hands clasping, empty and wanting
Because whispers tell me
You’re still coming

And what better have I?
What better for my heart
Than to beleive,
In my lie
