State of Suspended Passion

0 posted 2003-11-13 04:51 AM



this insomnia leaves me cold
heartless
and impatient.
Its almost 4 a.m.
and my eyes will not close
because no one writes better pain
than I do
in hours like these.
Or perhaps they do.
I have called upon too many bottles
too many sips of darkness
to be able to sleep
and dream a thorough
uninterrupted dream.
Why am I drowning myself
in unclear moments
posing as an addict
to the flames of something
too hot for me to really touch.
I feel stolen
undreamed of
and heartlessly full of heart.
vodka
water
whiskey
cola
it all goes in
but none of it can replace
whatever is missing inside of me.
So I'll dance for a little while
twirl around with the floor
in all its spinning glee
and try not to count
when I see four where two are standing.
I ache
but not about what you think..
you see
I am the empty one
who feels no fear of how far down I can sink.
Yes I spend time separating myself
but I want to be together for once.
But right now my eyes are dancing
with words that have no voice
no hands to reach with
so I'll dance by myself
or with the spinning floor in all its glee.
I just want to come unchained.

"My ears have not yet drunk a hundred words
Of that tongue’s uttering, yet I know the sound:" "Romeo and Juliet"

Sometimes, it's easy to want to do that.

Great work here, I can feel what you're going through.
