I Always Was
echoes of stillness
pulsate within
your face etched
in my blindness
lips trail tear
stained memories
left behind in the
soulessness of ~ us
simplistic promises
harsh realities
push against
darkness, smothered
in denial
incredulous heart
cannot stand the
roar ~ goddamn the roar
this sham out of control
your fingertips
play mine as I clutch
emptiness never knowing
shallow could hold so much
cold graveside eyes
look through me as
though I were not here
asshole ~ I always was
