2:54 am

hallowness filled my throat as my eyes pondered over a love that wasn’t mine

a love i craved

and yearned for

and gave

yet i remained a simple slave

to my own complexity

 

oceans released themselves from the shackles of my iris

and tsunamis poured down the riverbanks upon my eroded cheeks

 

i swallowed fear until i was left starving

an abundance of emptiness consumed all desires and dreams

yet

that night

i still turned my light off 

closed my eyes

and went to sleep

 

...just as i did the night before.
