Lonely lust.

I cannot see a path before me,

Nothing but a pestilant haze.

Bathing all resistance,

Hiding hope from my lonely eyes.

 

You the focus that holds me steady,

I fabricate a story that makes you love me.

Without you there is no reason,

To hang on parched in this dryest of seasons.

 

Dreaming up the missing mornings,

Filling in the longed for nights,

Your face and voice the origin of my delight.

Every morning alone heart strings tight.

 

I beg for my own salvation,

Set me free from this beautiful imagination.

Tell me to leave you and no longer love you.

So free and heartbroken,

Drifting like feathers over a seamless ocean.
