***** sheets
On a ***** bed
The room smells of sweat and ***
Shame in sunlight
Love in shadows
A broken soul no one respects
Blurry eyes
And morning dew
Remnants of what has been shared
Used up
Borrowed human touch
Never thinking someone cared
In the rays
Of blaring light
The shadows can no longer hide
The truth that birthed
Within the night
The two are one though side by side

Yesterday's tomorrow breeds hope
Timeless chances for renewal
Endless choices

Dust on the keyboard
Shines like stardust in dim light

Cut off abruptly
Painfully denied closure
Wounded in distance

Awakened at dawn
Finding emptiness beside
Lingering in dreams
