 ~REFLECTING MOMENTS~

[[CAGES]]  



I would love
to love
to wake
next to a warm body

But I cannot

I would love
to be
the one
that you surrender to

But I cannot

I fear
I will hurt you
like that fragile bone
centered of a feather

((Bend))ing...~~Flut~~tering

Broken appendage

Enthralled in the moment
I'd break your heart
and want to dip
the broken tip
inside my well

To stab my artery
piercing it
to bleed
using my blood as ink

I would express my grief
for the pain
I've caused
by tattooing
my apologies
inside my soul

I truly am captured
between desperation
and the coming twilight

My macabre essence
enfolds like that
of black wings

I weep with knowing
I shall never make love
to you
nor touch you

I could never harm you

With these barriers
I bare

My dearest
I move backward
into an empty corner

A lonesome existence

My sorrow
rises from my root

This torture
is like that
of an spiritual spasm

You see my hands
are encased
inside barbwire

Enclosed for eternity

These hands
are for not...
but [[CAGES]]
