Now I see the culmination of trial and error seeping outward

Too many feelings to give but no place to rest your own head

Sensationless, fingertips touch, and tainted lips part

withstanding the test of time

Pointed is the tongue that pleads for second chances

Poisoned lips part giving into failure

Eye for an eye spinning webs into the flesh

replacing every thought of repentance, everything erased.

Four walls in a new home begin to sag inward

and dust sets faster than your efforts make progress

Your skin shines faintly through the window

where you sit and think about love

But success still taunts as it stands out of grasp

and the windows steadily fog over

Nothing is impossible

I’m not sure what the solution is, nor where to find it

But commitment to nothingness I give as I watch you from the window across

No measurable scope of days and I have found nothing further

Now I see the culmination of trial and error seeping outward

Too many feelings to give but no place to rest your own head

Sheltered from awareness the blood pumps dense through your veins

Reflections dance through the now shattered panes

Your shelter built on a firm structure of false hope

Commitment to your outward glow leaves us parting

With an empty “goodbye”

Faint and quivering

Now knee high in the dust I dare not move,

because I know there is nothing else.

No reason to shift my sights as my eyes serve no other purpose.

Trial and error ends abruptly

I am fixated
