Mindless promises
Thoughtless forevers
Pull the knife through the cake
The blood stains her white dress
Fill the boxes
Expand in grey dead spaces
Love’s a dry hole left for empty things
Left for lost
Left for dead
The strung notes and conversations
Words faded in and out like copies
Images and familiar shapes
Trained like dogs
Whipped like less
Fading out in voided spaces
Feeling the hurt, of swept ash
Rituals and superstitions
Stab their hearts
Miracles and expectations
Leave them between dead and dying
The pulse slows
Lust and anger
Cold and numb
Deadened flesh
