8/2/98

faded love


here i sit
lonely as can be
candlelight's flicker
is my only company

i've fallen so deep
and can't climb out
love leaves my heart
my mind consumes doubt

the tears filled
my unsinkable eyes
our love-filled life
rolls over and dies

i pushed him away
ignored him completely
he pushed me away
he faded discreetly

i wished to feed him
spoonfuls of my devotion
fill his stomach
with my failed love potion

in the same room
but we speak no more
he ignores me, i do the same
is it me that he still adores?

he walked out on me
the light in me glows dim
he twisted me into a new shape
a shape for no one but him

back to proof
back next
