I'm a vow of silence,

                               that sings within.

Void less consciousness,

                 that grows between

the cracks.



Woven in bloodied tears,

              yet my features are
  parched like a desert wind.



I'm an illusion of self,
             cradled in the arms


of my own self doubt.

try as i may i can
never forget the way your
eyes look when the sun
makes them glimmer like
silver fish in a pond

my gateway
is a sad song
and a single tear
