Confusion Treads In Water

Exhausted, each letter drops

 

from my head to my feet

 

a blank screen behind these eyes

 

why?

 

understanding is futile

 

and wondering is growing weak

 

wanting, waiting

 

empty wishes

 

fall like ash

 

clouding my judgement.

 

just a fox and a hound

 

evading my pursuits

 

i'm left without your hand

 

warmth, smile, touch, breath

 

ingredients to your heart.

 

Mystified, my haze injects into my mind.

 

uncontrollable

 

my blood squirms

 

with a single thought

 

her...

 

polished, porcelain doll

 

of mocha caramel flavor

 

painted happiness, internal despair

 

all i ever think about.

 

waking moments reflect daydream hopes

 

dreaming scenes

 

of tomorrow

 

a ghost, a whisper on her neck

 

she'll never know.
