hollow hello =]
With your hollow helloI drift upon the draft that seeps
From your lips that I wish I could kiss
I wish the corners would go crooked
And shape into a perfect smile
Instead a get a gaping gash
That emits empty words
Upon these words I drift into a place where hurt has no end
The needles prick and tug at me
These needles come and go
From feeling so numb
As in my heart lies a heavy stone
This stone as cold and dense as your eyes
when they now look in my direction
Not even in my eyes
penetrating
Just slightly to the side
And I still feel your gaze
Your heat
you've entwined my mind into thoughts that ache
And push at the sides of my head
The pain that follows these memories is intoxicating
I just cant seem to stop
These memories are the closest that I can be to you
And this thought aches so subtly
I don't notice
Till its gone
And I long for nothing but that simple ache
That simple feeling
That tugs at me
Pricks at me
Emptys me so mercilessly
So raw and gritty
This love
Upon these simple words I choke ...
I have nothing more to say
No more breath as I resurface
So I will go back down to the bottom
Of my heart I tug
Tie myself to my stone
Where I drown in these words
That overflow
