Emotion

Sun, throw shadows cross the floor

That leak into my soul

Blackness tossed against the wall

The room feels so cold

 

The alibis you gave

Were promises in vain

Echoes of impermanence

Voices from the grave

 

Tell me what it's for

All this emotion

When you walk out the door

Why should I follow?

 

You've been playing games

With my emotions

Turn and walk away

You leave me hollow

 

Warmth, cascading over me

A puppet for your strings

A mound of flesh on which you feed

Satiated
