I can't find you.
promised to me in every eventuality.
They promised me I won't live alone,
Missing from every Verse, Painting and Tome.

Dying through eyes,
Fairytale and rhymes that give us  no more hope,
no purpose to believe or to proceed,
Absent in every Minute, Day and Year.

Kisses half felt.
Not causing my heart to skip or plummet,
You promised me life in place of darkness,
Dwindling in lustre, warmth and solace

I cannot venture.
Heart so weak and picked to bloodied splinters,
No room left to feel or to need.
Lost to life love and compassion.

Find me if you are the one,
Open my eyes and see these words undone.
