Withdrawl

an open, summer sky ending

Growing its teeth to shred yet another day

I try to throw stones into a sea of memories, hoping for

some kind of rippling movement to become aggressively enveloped

By a love that was once potent

I used to have permanent thoughts that this love was the projector

Showing me how to live,

after you left, everything disappeared, so has my blindness and my inability to breathe

But my eyes refuse to see the light because you were the darkness I chased for years

My lungs refuse to breathe, frozen by the last breath you stole and left me

inescapably empty

the sickness in

Not have my fix, reverberates its presence inside me, with

a virulent neon glow in my veins under my skin

Your love is poison, and my screams have become guitar strings you pluck with your

Razor fingers

Hurt is all I have come to know 

it follows me, like a lingering shoelace wanting every fall to be my last,

Deep, 

into Your endless hollow
