The Empty Seat

On a sunrise as in a thought.

We are lost for choices become hollow as

the smile becomes a mask.

 

Shackles cut into flesh trikles down the wrist

traces of the remains of what never shall be.

In a morbid sense i respect the empty hours

and cherish this isolation like mistress

that wait's for my return.

 

Flesh for canvas painting's in tone's no longer

a direction slowley we drift.

Taken from the scene another will always replace.

 

As a wheel has no end the start is a mystery

none care to solve.

Why mask reason when insanity we share?

 

Whom will erase my page?

Only to recreate my line.

Im headed for that slow decline.

 

In delusion I exist as in darkness

I fade.

A scroll none can see.

A vision seldom shared.

 

To gasp for air is to strangle apon

life the empty words crash to collect dust

in my cluttred life's floor.
