Unseen

Hollow heartbeats beckoning in echoes
Bitter heart, angry and berating
Nothing on my face, nothing through my mouth shows
This seething and bleeding heart that is grating
My smiles to nothing.

Caressing the shard of this memory,
Shattered and fragmented within this mind somewhere
Stands a mirror distorted , cracked, making all the world blurry
Eyes glazed over in despair, looking for things that aren’t there
My soul is eroding.

Ears, mind, and heart closed to reality
Only one song will open my being again
However that siren’s key is silenced by cruelty
I stand, coated red, in a bullpen until then.
My hero is not coming.

Breathing slowing, heartbeat evanescent
No light or angels hark my entrance
Just bleak darkness, all things absent
Starvation from empty romance,
Death is calling.
