The Shadow of We

Description:
The Shadow of We
Creeping around the shell of who I am Pin-pricked ends Blowing yolk-soul upon poetry walls Dripping onto you Onto me Onto the shadow of we I am hollow inside Like the depth of your smile The whisper of empty Echoes my name The vultures of reality Peck relentlessly at me Carrying pieces away To nest inside your mind Forming you Forming me And the shadow of we Build me around you Your fortress, your shroud Then discard me back to emptiness so that I am once again Hollow Void of depth and reason For I cannot see beyond your eyes My heart struggles against The closed view of your mind With dry and painful beats It strains to move My voice falls below you My wounds refuse to heal I am buried By the power And the weight Of your love Your love for you And of me And of the shadow of we As I slip into my nothingness And slowly cease to be |

I loved this poem and I think the way you put your words together were beautiful. It touched me.  | Posted on 2004-04-14 00:00:00 | by Broken Angel | [ Reply to This ] | very powerful, stirs emotions of hopeless attempts to love one wh doesn't love back, is a good write for the microphone, | | Posted on 2004-04-14 00:00:00 | by brokenbatman | [ Reply to This ] | |
