From ten to zero

By maddin foxxxy

[ surrendered to the vast... ]

let myself fall down
to feel so free this way
I am nothing but vulnerability
at least for this today

[ Gray afternoons .. ]

you call me
"heeello"
but at the other end of the phone
there is no one
Nobody I know
anymore

[ Close my eyes . . . ]

Once more, nothing to see
I'm beginning to wonder there's nothing .. .
when everything is in front of me

Just a glimpse of a stare
I used to share
with the world
I've never felt this apart
never felt this rare

[ Stormy sounds .. ]

leaves that fall inside
of the complex
of my mind
Summer's a whisper
behind

[ kiss me, kiss meee ]

I still haven't figured out
what I crave
but I won't take this desire
along to my grave

You know ..
I still bleed in the same way
as you do
[ a reflection of yourself . .]
I complement you . .

I am this ten
I am still this zero
I'll let myself cry,
but I'm still your
hero

I'll love you with all i've got inside,
but I'm still
your
zero

[ it's all gone ]
as i count 10 . .7 . ..5 .. 4 . .1 . ..0

    a person of such emotional caliber as yourself; can manifest varied and complex feelings.........not to say that they or good or bad, but just to say that there are that manny feelings to feel............well done as always my friend.............urban

    I find that notion interesting, as well. I can tell by your pic you are definitely a 10...but also a zero... The rythmn and flow of this piece was very good - liked it much. Ciao, T/S Scholar

    Goodness...I just reread my comment... I meant to convey "I find the notion you think you are also a zero interesting", not, "I can tell you are also a zero from your pic"... : ) Scholar

    I am this ten I am still this zero-this line struck me hard for some reason...i love how subtly blunt your work is...like something that wasn't supposed to hurt, but it did...very unexpected, and wonderful emotion
