the unsaid

withdrawn back into my own little world

all the security, all the reassurance one needs

out away from the inexorable cold,

warmth of mine own arms, i keep.

no more love to met out, no one to lend any

exhausted and retiring, an empty soul

forsaken, forgiven, forgotten, sins a-many

but why in me is contained, a yawning vacant hole?

Lost faith in all, no one to trust

every implicit word, many misleading,

all you proffer are trivial links, of lust,

unacquainted of a heart beat ceasing.

Why did you draw me out into the world?

Only to leave drowning in the storm?

assure of sun and spring, you lured,

I saw you quite, in your seraphim form.

mendacity chokes and blinds me yet

is there anywhere else to retire?

Lies, Deceit, folly, no regrets,

Buried deep, within a smothering mire.
