graveyard of your past

You built your present,

on the graveyard of your past,

and didn't flinch.

 

I hope you enjoy the lonely path,

with the ghosts stuck to your ribs,

tearing at your empty heart.

 

The past can't hurt you anymore,

it's paid you back the favour,

you're abandoned,

left with emptiness,

a soul-death.

 

The only thing worse than a broken heart,

is an empty life in an absent world;

you call it home and walk your path,

alone.

I remember a face I never knew

I remember a face,

I never saw,

bouncing around,

in my mind.

 

It bobs and weaves,

ducks and covers,

explodes into my mind's eye,

I can't shake the beautiful face,

of one of my loves,

who I've never met.

 

She stopped me in the light,

scrapped away insecurities,

and stood me back up on shaking feet;

an infant learning to walk on cold tiles,

desperate for feminine approval.
