Vacancy

This can't hide

All that

Rests inside

Love, loathing, pain and holding

Trying to hold back

All that's hiding

Deep, deep

Cutting, hating, lusting, waiting

Wanting to explode

You don't know!

What it's like

To hold

I hold back so much

All the time

You don't even know

What I want

Who I am

Who I hope to be

You sit and stare

Vacancy in your eyes

Saying words

As they come to mind

I watch,

I watch your mouth moving

And your words

Enter

Then leave

Like smoke

Released

From a woman's

Pursed lips

Who the hell are you?

Why the hell

Am I with you?

I sit

Cross-legged

And alone

Waiting, wanting, wishing

And alone

Head in my hands,

Alone
