I tried and failed to write today
But in the end I did
Words were jumbled inside my head
And nothing would make sense
I wrote and wrote
And erased it all
Words as fleeting as the tide
Fingers grasping empty space then crumbling with a sigh
Words had left me as I had them
The ones unsaid
Some not penned
The ones I hid away
Words to mend
Words to an end
They all died today

Frustrated at the futility
Dreaming of tranquility
I went to close the page

But when I did a message came
And brought with it a change

"Nothing to save. Discarded."

Reading that words came to me
And we felt the pain
Of two empty things
Lost for good
Following the wind

When your tongue grows loose
And your thoughts flow free
I'll eat the very words you say
Put the mask in place as I grin with the pain
Mouth filled with rancid poison
Tissue blistering and muscles constricting
Apathy and malice seeping
Sliding down the gullet
Sowing endless internal carnage
As your lips continue their birthing of horrors
Your spawn sink their hooks deep
Burrowing deeper and deeper
Down into the very core
Cracking the foundations
Leaving the spirit weeping
But the shell intact
While eroding the will to carry on
From somewhere deep within

A million little snowflakes
In this realm of mine
They say a pictures worth a thousand words
But this ones not worth the time
Just an empty little snow globe
And a decrepit mind

Wilting and feeling Bloo
But we talk and imagine
Sunny lands
Eduardo as a dragon
Sipping on CoCo
Fostering feelings of warmth

Waiting forever for
An end to this swirling storm
But they keep reaching out
Twirling it up more
So we walk the endless boundary
Looking for a crack
As we tap and hum our desperate tune
And let it fade to black
