backs turned to me
all in a row
disappointment resounds
in the emptiness.
i am a hollow cavern
words echo inside me
mere reminders
of another’s words.
footprints cover my soul
but they are not mine
they crisscross and entwine
in a perverse dance.
i cry out in despair and desperation
for i am a vessel for others
but never for myself
and now i am lost.

in a perverse dance.
i cry out in despair and desperation
for i am a vessel for others
but never for myself
and now i am lost.
