Another House of Cards

Your loneliness wanders in

the wasteland of my empty heart.

The gaze, stolen from a cloudless sky,

sheds white tears

from the faces of my forbidden dreams.

I know you will never calm

my bleeding hope,

I know the pain will be my fulfillment

forever.

I am stuck in realization,

a hastily recited prayer will not satisfy

the hunger,

repentance will not provide light

to share dreams

with someone innocent.

The abyss of suffering thoughts

terrifies me, I am still balancing on

the verge of infinity.

Stay in my hands

as long as it's hard to imagine

the time of love,

as long as it's so easy to die

without a word.

Another house of cards collapsed,

a soap bubble burst.

Will the solace offered to me

by the light in your hand

help me rest before the future?

I fall apart, I die.

Only your memory makes me still here.
