A million faces
All the same
Wandering all their lives
Without a real purpose
A million stories
All different
But all with the same ending
A fate we can't avoid
But between them all
Could there be one
That stands out?
Maybe yours?
Maybe mine?
Maybe both?
She said to her daughter,
"Goodnight."
And her little girl
No longer little
Looked up in her mama's eyes,
And said,
"Goodbye."
And Mama thought nothing of it,
Till her little girl
No longer little
Never looked up in her mama's eyes
Again.
In this empty room
We stand together
In silence
In the darkness
Our shattered hearts
Bleeding together as one
While the blood runs
Through our cold skin
This is what love is like
Two broken people
Sharing their pain
Merging their empty souls
We forget about the world
Because we live in a world of our own
United as one
In an illusion of happiness
You're 801 miles away
And I'm all alone in this bed.
Facebook only goes so far,
Sometimes.
Sometimes I'm so lonely
And I miss you so much
(Even though I've never actually
Seen you, in real life)
That I just want to cry.
I'm being honest,
Because it's painful right now.
Being apart from you is painful.
Do you see a future?
Because I can and it scares me.
I want to love you
The way you deserve,
So hard you can feel it
Like prickles in your skin,
Even 801 miles away.
I want to tell the story to our children,
And grandchildren.
How we met and the first time
We ever kissed
And how love can happen
Even as far away as this,
Even when you've nev
Flooded with emotion
Dams about to fall
Heart beating empty veins
On my knees I crawl
Overwhelmed by a notion
One that left me weak
Why won't the past stay in the past
Why can't I even sleep
Hazy mind weary eyes
Hard enough to think
Such confusion, such discontent
Why can't I cease to sink
Crippled by a handicap
Nothing without a crutch
You see standing on my own
Has proved to be too much
Your eyes, full of color
Now all I see is grey
One last breath to say goodbye
Before we fade away
Gratification will bring you
nothing but a stone cold hand to
the pit
of your rotted ribs.
the self will gently pull on
the withered strings of its own
heart;
snap them back
into place.
the system will restart itself with
a hum of a thousand
whispers...
memories
set into place.
Again given minutes,
hours,
days, a
year,
for loneliness to reach
its end; and sometimes life
is only
given
through death,
so satisfaction,
reach its
end.
[again, you will be brought nothing .]
