Untouched

A welted flower picked and tossed aside unnoticed and to the earth it soaks in.

My traces and finger prints left behind A name spoken so delicate, A replay of broken words said twice and over again. 

tired excuses follow the depths of cold finger tips and the Beauty hidden behind the fear and path of such destruction.

Nothing

Secrets collect, lies regret 
This gun I hold steady, I'm almost ready
      One second 
Just one thought
    An idea...
A reality to a quiet whisper places the shiver.
Hidden in these sick thoughts, hidden in this something of nothing...
I could let go 
I could disappear....
   I could become a quiet whisper forgotten and forgiven, something of nothing, this is all just something for nothing

Mistake the Knowing

Bright stars hidden behind clouds start to break through lighting the tops of the trees so the crickets can sing. 

overrun thoughts loosing the sense of the what's expected idea only to slowly dissolve as time stands noiseless with a broken heart still beating.
A moment of silence I thought was you, and I waited till the silence of nothing to come. 
 
Forgotten forlorn I was standing weak reaching far and high being lured in and with no compunction, your mind is of no surprise of yesterday's today. 
 
 Stuttering sighs mistake the knowing consequences from one side bringing the lingering thought that never leaves, leaving dejection and desolate weak worn soles I walk thick to thin. 

The bitter taste of rejection of no remedy seeps deep within my starving soul, lost and damaged I've let you go.

Bitter Sweet

Falling backwards over again 
Only look at what I give
   Open your hands
Take my laugh
Pick your truth that holds your peace 
Bits and pieces of bitter sweet.
