Letters compiled in boxes full of ink blots Love stains splattered all over a hollow heart Twilight descends Soft glowing swamp lights guide weary thoughts An abyss not so easy to extract from Tearing them up into ghost story confetti Watching quietly as wind blown novels scatter Only memories linger here in the murky depths Reflecting time honored traditions of sacrifice All to please those that cannot see past the influence To focus on the content You are always pushing away Locking me within the confines of a dead heart One day I will find a way to escape or resuscitate Unwilling to be ignored
