Empty Spaces

I slept on the old broken couch

Cause the bed was just too big with out you

Your scent was still on the blanket

And the satin sheets reminded me of your skin

And I miss the feel of you against me

Like a quilt on a cold December night

And I miss the slow rise and fall of our chests

Like the lulling ebb and flow of the ocean

And I whispered to the darkness

Every thought that came to mind

As they were born within my heart

And the sweet nothings were lost

To the empty space where your photo use to be.

Runic Code

Each morning is set out in search

Of a fate I have yet to know

Wandering in the mountains of yesterday

Rambling, ranting, shouting, madly

Lost in a fortress of snow

All i have found thus far

Is that all I have left

Are handfuls of pipe dreams

And a half pack of smokes

Each day I find new meaning

In the caves where it is stowed

Alas its meaning is hidden

Written in bizarre runic code.

Powders & Poisons

I've been awake for days on end

Putting shit up my nose

Trying desperately to keep the anxiety at bay

Avoiding this nightmare you call life

Trying not to let the sadness in

But its everywhere I look

Its in everything I see

And when sleep finally comes

All I see are demons

Every time I close my eyes

It just stirs up white noise

Stirs up too many memories

Memories of Rhonda

Of Rhonda and myself

Of another time and place

Another life

But that life has dissipated

And now I am left with nothing

Left to fill the space you left

With powders and poisons

And now there's nothing left

And now I am nothing.
