for you.

[tonightximxgone]

too often have i pleased without return
or waited in shadows, only to fall
and fill myself back up, doing my best to carry you
crawling.
too often have these eyes shone empty
and today my words are glowing, glowering
while i wait, writhing in the cold blue
of waves climbing up into the clouds.
my words have become so hollow
my tongue is twisted, ripped and speaking alone.
too often have i lingered
left you standing on the sidelines of life
while i always knew i needed this
to build and overflow in me
and now i know who i am without;
alive and passion-less.
my words have become so hollow
my mouth is open, wounded and shallow.
too often have i waited
for someone who is not coming;
he isn't coming.
he isn't.
