pennylane731's Diaryland Diary

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

when you have nothing, you have nothing to lose

it's one thing to hold close
the mind, touching hearts through the voices

but when it comes down to it:
acres to interstates,
how long can we live?

will this
turn into a million tomorrows
without feeling the skin -
callouses and softness that i haven't had time to memorize

a running start, a jump to the abyss
months in the making
a slow slide away from my intentions

if i ripped shaking tendons from my body,
would that illustrate it?

serious as a cancerous death,
empty from the firey, violent purge,
i am void

i have no more time; all the gifts
discarded, to die in reciprocation
