vented to-
fiery words
that soared on your breath
like balding birds
leaving the nest
a gentle push
one bird in the hand
is two in the bush
empty hands
with skin like sand
sinking and sucking you down
even
fish can
find ways to drown
a moment or two
on which you thrive-
theres more to living than being alive
there's more to swimming
than taking the dive
there's more than
no truth
to a lie
there is
a soggy spilt universe
behind each heavy sigh
expectations
were high
you're not
the reason I write
reason for anything at all
you call that
taking a fall
from
high hopes?
cut the ropes
stumble down the slopes
of a haggard plain
where not a face
will ever known your name
because
everyone
needs someone to blame
your knees torn
you call it pain
but it's sane
to say
you got your way
my feet caved in
eyes carved out
hollowed in
self-accusing doubt
I replay our song
the lyrics
take too long
to explain how I feel
emotions that have come
and gone-
and as I lay broken
and bleeding
you still try
to ask me
what
is
wrong....
