Pieces of Me

Pieces of Me #1

 

I had words once,

enough of them to fill

my empty spaces, to

soothe my aching

Loneliness.

It's all dried up now,

spaces remain empty

and I am left speechless

in a hollow room.

 

 Pieces of Me #2

I keep the voices inside of me,

screaming of defeat and failure.

Words I prefer not to put

into the decorated pit of despair.

I wish I could be more.

Do a little more.

Just a tiny bit more--

than what I am.

 

 

 Pieces of Me #3

 

I keep different coloured ideas

in my notes,

they turn yellowgreenblueblack

and I write in the midst of the night

of some perceived happiness,

of silent and deliberate cruelty,

of hums of silence,

of some half forgotten dreams

memories. 

What do you write in the harrow of the dark? 

What keeps you awake in the awning abyss? 

 

Pieces of Me #4

I feel further

 away

from myself

today

 

My name

seems unfamiliar

not--mine

Notface
