Passage

So quickly pass connections formed for lack of will or faith, though power in the void; temptation now prohibits turning back, concealing this - a mind elsewhere employed. Not two words spoken since, today the first, a hand placed carelessly upon the skin that knows too well the hunger and the thirst for what it sought so desperately within your eyes - and finding nothing, then withdrew; your soul - and found it equally as bare; desire - perhaps the one thing that was true, (though only words, rekindled with your stare…) I gave my dignity and pleading grace for this, the emptiness now in its place.
