See the Empty Space
See the Empty Space
The sorrow leaves a pool
Dripped in pages to the floor
A sideways glance is thinking
It does not want to see you anymore
Gliding over the tiles lingers on their cold
Searching secret niches to hide behind they’re cracking
And the sorrow leaves its pool
Sliding message bear traps springing closed
Nothing but a silence staining a polished surface
A reflection no one knows
It seeps from beneath the glances
That have no where else to rest
It hides behind your eyelids
In the place it knows the best
As the sorrow pool spreads with its counted motion
Its testament shed within the howling drips
Reaches to a mirror
But does not want to see you anymore
The bawling engines roar
A plane crash falling weight of your capture
While diamond pith shatters into tissue
With the unspoken vowels of love
But gliding over the floor
The silence of sorrows pool
No one can hear the unspoken words
But everyone sees the smiles
They don’t feel the day is dead
Or see the empty space
They do not recognise the shadow
Which lynches on the corner of your mouth
They cannot see the eyes
Into which yours still long to look
Only clues of something stirring
In the quietness of your voice
And the paper trail is littered with your silence
Dripped in pages to the floor
The sorrow leaves a pool
Floats away across the tiles
Skimming an unbroken sheen upon the chill
Floats away across the tiles
