All That's Left

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
