a casket away from nothing
By Taunting The Reaper
the silence is breaking me
again
so I’m drawing bunny rabbit pirates
hoping to pass the time
without you
with the taste of you
still on my lips
reaching for the natives
reaching for the sun
reaching for damn near anything
I’m falling
deeper and deeper
into this rabbit hole
and I’m wondering
if Alice had a wonderland like this
this steaming pile of fate
covering my plate
and I'm waiting to dine
hoping to find
more appetizing moments
yet, I’m constantly as aghast
as a message in a bottle
finding a blind reader
losing my purpose
all I hoped for
all I dreamt of
falls off of colossal mountains
gargantuan towers
alpine rooftops
aflame
with the scent
of sparsely covered scars
their fate
much like mine
a casket away
from nothing

Fluid and pulsating with passionate pain. Reading this, I felt like I was falling as well. Must you always tug on heart-strings :). I have not been on DP for awhile. It's nice to return to such a mind.
