humid lies

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

blind-firing into the dark,
you were bound to hit me again
pushing holes through these voids
I don't remember if 
there ever was balance
and why it seemed so easy
to make your light a part of me

in the automated coldness of 
a more distant morning
I practice grasping the concept 
of an ideal memory
clean one package, put away another
those came out of nowhere

too tired to return
I visualize the empathy,
the emptiness
and in recurring moments
the reward for patience
non-existant

rhapsody in silence
so out of words again
a secret turns unspoken
somewhere safe from sound

the partial decay of this crystalline sky
revives the wounds forsaken long ago
I'm still bleeding from the bitter lie
traded trust for shallow laughter
the same old fool

like always, I've been
walking in broken dreams
cut my feet on the shards
this time, I bled light
Birth sign: Capricorn
