matchlight lamentations

By whisperer

in the light of a matches gaze tell me


what do i look like my dear....
failure


missed oppurtunity?






a regret...




i look in the mirror and see my heart blasted across my chest like shotgun aftermath betrayed by myself and what i crave fooled into the grave so in silence i remain


what have you seen






i see you window shopping






and i am smitten by my futility






as i rise from the ashes staring at your experience patches fluttering in my burning nicotene breeze you just turn away leaving me nothing left to believe


you're half and half against and both sides just beat the living fuck out of an already worn doll in your closet


sitting amongst the rest of your skeletons listening to you whisper my name to yourself in the dark





crying out unheard


for to long





crickets fade in the night as i take up my spot in the corner for my own cynical purposes











*wipes off the mess of his heart contemptuously*






you know where to find me





yes we miss each other




but you can at least reload and try again
