You and I

Pointless Chicken

You and I

Nightlife
You're satisfied?
Think I`ll cry 
Behind these eyes

Pointless chicken
That I believe in 
That we`d reconcile 
At night still dreaming

Hoping that
One day, 
I could speak
To you
Again

But we stare with unbroken stars
Toxic fumes through the air
Pointless chickens in my head
Scars on scar tissue, Better off dead

I know you don't care
You gave up 4 years ago
How long have I known so?
That these wounds,

These wounds for me,
Are still bare.
The Fish of the Sea.

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L poem. I enjoyed reading it, I felt the pain, the sorrow, the fear, I felt it all. Very well written.

Thanks so much Edwin! A bit nonsensical, but I'm glad you found meaning in my work. Peace and happy holidays. The Fish of the Sea. (On vacay till after Christmas...)
