today destroyed my yesterday,
moment by moment,
forced to kiss the knife that cuts
I forever bleed regret.

the promised touch that never comes
the strangled heart struggles
the kiss never forgets,
as the knife never forgives.

a silent scream falls from my tired lips
as if underwater, breathless
enduring shapelessness
bowing to agony, defeat.

with all the wasted thoughts,
ripped from useless dreams
all that's left, all that's whole
bereft of hope, loss is all.
