June 11, 2008
Deafening silence makes my itching ears bleed
in the confusion of this empty loneliness
filled with hopelessness
Scratching at this fear with nails bitten to nothing
corruption caused by artificial security
cornered by my impurity
Moisture hanging in dry air around
dew drops burning empty clouds
satisfy my evaporating soul
Eyes appear in distance near
strong and brown, tear through my protection
dry lips scream for affection
Flames encompass the emptiest spaces
licking at all my bared mistakes
leaving life in their wake
And when I’m out of this dark place
I’ll be beyond all recognition
unaware of my condition
Identity found and inhibitions lost
all of me sunk away into desperation
no more hesitation
All that’s left is You and Your eyes
Your gaze holds me up above my prison cell
spirit lifted above this forsaken shell
