Empty

EMPTY

Your self-inflicted wound will never heal if you keep my heart at bay 

and yours in chains!

You really think I don't know how you feel?
I know. I can feel everything you're feeling

I heard it all.

All, but your thoughts and yet, words are not enough

Honor me, my soul that is your soul
Show me love!

In your cloak with a dagger you dig deep into my pain
Carving kind words into your own flesh to impress me?

Why can't you just say them? You refused

When you punish me, you punish you

Sinking into your filthy swamp of strange abuse

Your love is heavy (as is mine) ....yet, sometimes, in shades of deepest blue - I'm fine.

Underwater there is no tomorrow, only now

My lungs are empty

My heart is hollow

Still, I learned to breathe somehow

Resilient

Diving deeper, where the seaweed buries me

I discover what our merit be

Resilient, like all fish

underwater

I am me

Resurfacing, only to lose myself again

I am made different by the sea

Although, my love remains the same

salty as can be
