fragmented memoirs of a dead love

fragmented memoirs of a dead love

A Poem by AKhaus

aromatic flowers lingering as the stiffness of your stare is as it were...before, after, now
nothing lies behind those eyes...maybe just maybe the constant desire to feel relevant even when that desperation costs you
playful things and constant remembrances entertain you in your mental captivities as the world crumbles around you
hide and seek, the games you play are never ending 
parroting thoughts and acting as though there lies confidence in your knowing gives you an illusion suitable enough to stay
nothing is nothing and so you will see that when you provide such falsehoods nothing will remain or can be
desecrated by your need to be something you are not is devastating
in your depths you know, there is an emptiness, an abyss that can never be filled...you know you will never be relevant enough to matter because those who have abandoned you left, never to return, never to be more than vacancies...

The loneliness and barrenness that flow from this one are heartbreaking. It is if the show is over, even while the lights are still on.
