This is failed poetry
Words rising like smoke from fire, rising into the air to be dissolved and forgotten
Broken thoughts from silent lips, all these days we've been starving for the answers
Broken thoughts from silent lips, your eyes are as hollow as what lies behind
Scraping our teeth against the wall, grinding bone to dust, and raking our fingernails across our chests to tear out the heart that never served us well
You know nothing beyond what you're forced to and cringe at the thought of living for something
We're dreaming of words that last forever
Seeing fire in the eyes of creation and letting it burn in ourselves
I take no blame for you
Interpret word for word
Examine every breath, more full of meaning than you will ever know, until they rise across every cell of your body to meet your throat
Out of your mouth and gone with the wind
These satellites are failing, our lines detaching
We share nothing now but embedded ghosts of the past
Lips scathed with lies, emotions abandoned with memories
Our ghost ships passing under disengaged satellites, our connection has been lost
Still those eyes turn up blue every single time
Scratched and faded words fall on deaf ears
Be my hope for humanity
These are secrets that should have been whispered in your ear by candlelight or screamed in your face at just the right moment
I wish this could have meant so much more
