Starving dogs

We were endless,

like the innocent sky--

If I opened my eyes in any direction,

all I could see was us.

We were endless,

like the silence of a secret,

and the ringing of your ears,

with curiosity and ache,

and ringing,

and ringing.

Love? We knew nothing of the word,

but we craved it like starving dogs--

all ribcage, no heart;

Hollow, we had become.

Hollow, we would forever remain.

The starvation continued to grow,

it became the monster that kept us on our feet.

The starvation continued to grow,

but I couldn't run anymore.

We were endless,

like eternal rest--

the silence of secrets surrounding us,

with our ears ringing,

with curiosity and ache,

and ringing,

and ringing.

I awoke running,

my feet covered in cuts,

my knees caving in,

but I would not give up,

I wanted a world with you

and your eyes, like mirrors.

I would not give up,

My heart is now your heart,

I feel it beating in your chest.

My bones are your bones,

I can still see all of the cracks.

We were endless,

like the drive of a naive dog chasing his tail--

Running in circles, convinced he was fighting for something.

Running in circles, returning empty-mouthed and exhausted.

Love? We knew nothing of the word,

but we strived for it like a foolish dog.

We strived, and we strived,

but we had nothing but paw-prints in concentric circles,

twisting and turning,

overlapping and intertwining,

seemingly endlessly.

Running in circles, returning empty-mouthed and exhausted.

My dear, we have gone mad from this starvation;

We have gone mad,

We have gone mad.
