Untitled Fifteen...


Here again...
an old ending...to a beginning

that's been recreated
time and time again...

from a bag of
the same wants
and wherefores...

the same words and lies
spoken so often that

even your breath
stinks of dead things.

From a heart caged in fear...
with words created from lies

and in darkness...deceit
whispered in silence to yourself.

I had to know the taste
of that darkness...

know the feel of your insecurity...
know and savor the flavor
of your inner bitch.

I danced with your devils...
and wrapped in my distress...

I listened...

to the wicked promises...
to the whispers...

that spoke to and exposed
the rawness of my need...

and drove me
to places where even
darkness resides in shadow.

I endured what no one
should endure...

I've experienced what everyone
should experience...

this...this love.
