I talk to myself


i feel empty.
always feel empty.
always blank.

talking to myself.
many conversations.

why do i talk?

it is only listening that affirms us.

words need to find the ear womb to 
blossom into emotions 
and return me my flesh and blood.


i just wanted someone to care for me.
i just wanted someone to hear me

When did that become so hard?
When did i become ugly?



My words needed a world to reside
but there was none.

I was given a desert...
sand flew and laughed at me.

I wanted to live by the brook and sing to the stream
but i got a stagnant sewer
and the putrid smell of decaying dreams.

The stench of failure comes from within me
each breath...reminding me of 
the corpse of my dreams lying within me.
