in this blackless sky
counting scars never really ends
as once you gripped my ever beating heart
now dropped to the floor
long forgotten
tormented are my mind and soul
as my limbs go weak
and my stomach, it burns
and my eyes and breath cry out
for only you held my heart
quite like you did
and this lack of all
hollows
and i fill myself up with anything that passes the time
substance matters not
as long as the clock ticks by
at a pace i can manage
though these years go too slowly
and my essence snuffed out with the motion of the butterfly
so i'll drift on this wind until snagged by the trees
a kitten to save
a baby to cradle
a puzzle to piece
