Emptiness

in writing •  7 years ago 

Stained dreams of emptiness
Teeth marks upon skin depress
A fantasy of lustful embrace
In order for a heart to encase

The memories of a sensation
Careful palpitations of a heart racing
Torn flesh a lipstick stain
Weeping wounds in pouring rain

A knife
A life

Slicing through the emptiness
Tearing skin and windowed recess
A fantasy of masochistic embrace
Someone heartless, replaced.

The memories of me
Through blindness I see
Lost hope in false dreams
Lipstick stains at torn seams

Bruised and battered passenger
Deluded desires assessed
A fantasy of pure embrace
Comes to those in last place.

Once again, brilliance. Such vibrancy, well written & I like the movement you conjure in this, I'd like to know your thoughts when you composed this. There's alot of self discovery & newly found clarity in this, there's alot to be learnt in these experiences. Great job :)

I'd like to know my thoughts when I composed this!

Its between two pages, one where there's rambling and quotes from some music I listened to at the time, and another poem on the opposite page. I'll tidy that one up and post it in next, I think.

A much needed read today! Thanks...

I'm thinking of posting more of these as I find them in my notebooks. :)

awesome! Will keep coming by to read them :)
