THE INTROSPECTION CHRONICLES 14| HOLLOW

in #poetry5 years ago

Hollow face,
come take me through your alley way
That darkened length of sordid space.
Come make me forget the pain,
like a high with no drug popped, no needle pierced.
There are no tears on your eyelids; hollow pain.
You make me see my fate in that hollow space.

See your nails on the floor.
You have scratched your pretty face,
picking, picking those tears apart
like a needle through drunken stitches.
You have knit your form again,
like a whisper in the air coming from nowhere.
You sing, you sing of those days gone like the new year.
You feel sweet when i taste your pain,
sour-sweet taste like vinegar and salt:
just another halt of constant fear.

Hollow face,
there is nothing there on that placid space.
Come and play with me again in this silent place.
Let's all forget for a moment that the sun
won't shine today and the moon
won't rise with the night this time,
that the dead be lying still in their graves
and the tears be torn from our lips
whether we want it to or not;
What a hollow fate!

just came back from exchanging grief like wet hankies. I am bereft of words.
