And always

Hours in your arms

Days on your lips

A year trapped in your heart

- Forever -

My safe haven has been your strength, dear.

My madness, our passion

Your laughter, the tears

The first three hundred and sixty five

- Forever -

My comfort has been your patience, sweet.

Knowning completeness and still expectant

Fulfilled and yearning yet for more

The next one hundred

- Forever -

My true wisdom has been our love.

Demolition

Beat down
To be
Made up
Again
From scratch

- All that work for nothing -

Nothing.
Am nothing.

Kicking and
Screaming and
Crying and hitting

-All these shouts for nothing -

Nothing.
Am Nothing.

Here, where you are
Or aren't
I am
Nothing

(Meaningless words
Meaningless hopes
Meaningless dreams
Meaningless girl

Hanging on by the nails)

Not from here
Not from there
Nothing
Not from anywhere

Nothing needs
To become
Something
Else.

This too shall pass

Muted cries
Hurt
Alone.

- Empty days-

So much love
So much despair,
And the aching

- Empty days -

Talking to walls
Whispering to your sleep
Clawing for relief

-Empty days -

This darkness is most blinding
Yet, if your courage holds
There will be no white flag flying

- 'Til this emptyness is silenced -
