Reflections

Sometimes,
I want so bad I hurt.
My heart is a lonely pool of moonlight,
casting long shadows of doubt into the silent, silent night.
Calling, "This will never be enough."
It speaks only the truth.

Patience will only bring you heartache.
"Take what you want, steal what you need."
"This isn't a hole in your heart, it's a hope stuck inside a broken cage."
Pleading will only get you nowhere.
A dream at best, a folly in reality.

You won't speak to me,
look at me,
think of me.
I don't exist.
I am a fallen vision.
All alone, all alone.
"You're barely living, all alone."

A desert into woodlands, tears into trees.
All consuming hunger brings a world to its knees.
Can a castle breed a beauty, or does it all fall flat?
There are some questions I cannot ask.

Stomach falling, falling, falling;
so this is dread,
regret, wishes left unsaid.
Doomed, doomed, doomed.
Shattered into me.

I am my own missing piece,
and that's all we'll ever be.
