Bottomless
By Dragonfly
An edible arrangement of words.
Skewered with a stick and dipped
in a delectable sauce of lies
Losing all natural substance and
leaving nothing
But the joy of a glutton for such delicacies
as I
And his own arrangements taste still lingers behind my
lips
Dancing on my tongue into oblivion
For I gobble
up his lies just as all the sorry souls before me had as well
But my heart is filled to the brim
Soon this previously empty
bucket shall be empty once more
As all emotion is dumped into
a bottomless well
Where those who need it more than I can feast
If not soon it shall burst and I will be left
With a
balloon of sorts now run out of helium
Sinking to the bottom
never to float until refilled
And I am perfectly fine with that
