I am an echo
the size of an insect;
wingless and translucent,
I stick to the walls
of an endless mouth
it speaks of chaos,
the world is on fire
everyone is burning
for love
please don't leave...
ii.
Love is not
loneliness
feeding upon
loneliness
The curves
of a man's tongue
as it rests against
the teeth
sleeps
until
it wakes once more
to shatter the
earth
and scare all
the little ones
iii.
If it is not within me
to share a heart, be
it bruised or broken,
be it sealed in black
or lost in fog
It if is not within me
to continue on, limp
blinded by the past,
torn asunder
by the hidden
hands of ignorance
Then it's final
There's no coming back
from the depths below
Fate smiles approvingly
on the guarded animals
of fortune
iiii.
And I feel myself
make it back somehow,
courage the size of
a feline fang;
it's enough
to tear through
the sadness,
enough to get me
by for a longer
while
