what is it that you saw
when you stared into my eyes
was it hope
or forever
or just another lie
i feel like an empty package
just barely making it by
beaten up in transit
discarded like an ode to pomp and style
how i wanted it to be you
just you
and how i dreamt that it could be true
you’d love me too
but you’re quiet
and your distant
and your words don’t feel the same
is it the longing
or the heartache
that coats me like a stain
is it that my words come out broken
in ways that don’t make sense
or is it in a different language
not broken
badly bent
but i get it
i do
how could i have expected love
from someone as pure as you
i’m a bottle of wine turned vinegar
too many nonfunctioning parts
and you’re an angel
hovering over
my passion lacks the sparks
so stay quiet
my fondest dream
i’ll fade off into the night
and don’t look back now
my sweet angel
before you take your flight
i’ll stick to shadows
vanish underground
where the freaks and monsters play
and you can find the one
the one i wasn’t
i’ll just be on my way
i won’t forget you
though i’ll try to
with wine and drug and song
i’ll always know you’re out there
in the sunbeams
out where you belong
at night i’ll whisper
to the heavens
in hopes you find your way
and only smiles
should surround you
farewell
i fade
away
beautiful sadness

Wow. It’s like so often you could be writing the words of my own dark soul.
