Desperate To Become Whole
Nothing makes sense
Nothing is ever real
It is not what I think
But just what I feel
A twist of a word
A turn of the heart
Heading for devastation
A feeling from the start
Spouting words so true
Yet worthless and vain
Never to be realized
As fleeting as the pain
I give away nothing
My heart is filled with less
Scattered are dry seeds
Destined to sprout a mess
Lonely is the wolf tonight
Whimpering for a companion
A dog sits content by the fire
Happy to feel like a champion
The world lays before us
So plastic and so fake
Yet still it is there sitting
Just waiting for us to take
I have nothing but a wound
Desperate to become whole
A festering sore for a heart
And decaying leaves for a soul
