All That Remains

Each day melts into the

next and I am stuck here

wondering where all my

elasticity disappeared too

 

heavy and dark was

your dead breath it

coated my lungs like

honey, thick and lifeless

stealing away all moisture

if any still remained

 

around that deceased

tree we danced in

silence and empty did

your hands feel around me

 

your eyes hollowed out

stones of a dry unwanted

river bed Oh how you

searched your lips over the

crevices of mine, but dry and

cracked was all that remained
