abandon

hollow eyes like hollow skies
are dripping upwards with hollow sighs
that die on the lips where the oxygen's missed
passing over, beyond, gone.
and another one leaves.
the whisper of trees and the chill in the air
remind her, find her, strip her bare.
what once she loved she now despises.
surprises are wasted on those who don't care.
a tarnished soul, restless, reckless...
festering scars on innocent skin.
it comes from within, and it starts with a break,
and it moves like a snake,
and another one leaves.
following trails like following wind.
the journey never justifies the end.
tie her up! untie her!
she's a wildfire that burns at the touch.
but she won't feel much where it counts anymore.
she's been savagely ravaged
and another one leaves.
and out on the seas, her fault lies unconscious,
buried and breathing like a skeleton closet.
she thought she lost it.
(still naive after all these years.
after all these tears, some wasted, some tasted.
they fall like the stars)
and another one leaves.
wallow in feelings that wallow in vain.
her hardened heart will numb the pain.
let it go, give it up, let the end begin.
with no one make friends and never be lonely.
hate yourself only and your face will find favor.
this is all she believes.
and another one leaves.
now all that she sees is the only problem with this theory
which leaves her weary and keeps her in line
is that it does nothing in serving its purpose
for no one remains at the end of the night.
all her remains spill out in the moonlight.
the pools take flight,
and another one leaves.
she swallows the wings that swallow what stings
and hopes they will beat for the heart that cannot,
stirring up a wind that will help her ascend,
dripping upwards where hollow sighs get caught.
drawn like a tourniquet after the dawn.
passing over, beyond, gone.
and another one leaves.
