Conversation With Dustmites

it is then i feel like an earthquake inside it is then i feel as if my balance needs a ride it is then i feel like my heart is on vacation it is then i feel that my heart and mind have no relation the color of life is so bland and so bleak the color of life has my will feeling so weak the color of life has my hair all falling out the color of life makes me want to pout and shout this emptiness has me drowning all in debt this emptiness makes me weep as i have wept this emptiness fully defines my here and now this emptiness is my when, where, why, and how my cost to pay is the loss and repossession my cost to pay is the erasure of each collection my cost to pay is my brain's full sanity my cost to pay is my spinach vanity the rust doorknob is my only microphone the rust doorknob is my view when i'm alone the rust doorknob is my only ray of hope the rust doorknob is my only way to cope happiness' eye closed when you walked out the door happiness' eye is murky where it was clear before happiness' eye was the center of our love's strength happiness' eye is now fully blind at every length
