funny...
when i looked into your eyes
on that fateful day,
there was no hint
of utter disaster.
the only thing
which stood proud
and prominent
seemed to be the promise
of eternity.
but who is here
to care for me
when the hurt surrounds
like predators
waiting to devour
any residue
that was left?
can i
roll over
to the warm spot
that still whispers your name
and plead my case?
or must i
take solace
in the fact
that you once gave me
empty vouchers
for yesterday's love?
the tears
have turned bitter...
once the sole reminder
that kept remorse
from rotting
our memories.
but now that i see no use
in the redeeming value
brought on by thinking,
i gladly surrender
and give my sanity
to the wind.
for the truth
will always remain
stagnant
within the walls
of my soul.
