Trial & Error

Now I see the culmination of trial and error seeping outward
Too many feelings to give but no place to rest your own head
Sensationless, fingertips touch, and tainted lips part
withstanding the test of time
Pointed is the tongue that pleads for second chances
Poisoned lips part giving into failure
Eye for an eye spinning webs into the flesh
replacing every thought of repentance, everything erased.
Four walls in a new home begin to sag inward
and dust sets faster than your efforts make progress
Your skin shines faintly through the window
where you sit and think about love
But success still taunts as it stands out of grasp
and the windows steadily fog over
Nothing is impossible
I’m not sure what the solution is, nor where to find it
But commitment to nothingness I give as I watch you from the window across
No measurable scope of days and I have found nothing further
Now I see the culmination of trial and error seeping outward
Too many feelings to give but no place to rest your own head
Sheltered from awareness the blood pumps dense through your veins
Reflections dance through the now shattered panes
Your shelter built on a firm structure of false hope
Commitment to your outward glow leaves us parting
With an empty “goodbye”
Faint and quivering
Now knee high in the dust I dare not move,
because I know there is nothing else.
No reason to shift my sights as my eyes serve no other purpose.
Trial and error ends abruptly
I am fixated

Take me over
It’s far too late
Everyday I pray
Hands sifting sand
Too large a burden to bear when you’re responsible
for my thoughts
Praise be to all the words that land empty at my feet
Praise be to the dying fire of a town laid to waste
Praise be to paradise
You fall empty at my feet
The sunrise cycles with the gaslight that fails to guide
Fails to guide the lost party home
If ever anything was, we can now be certain that it wasn’t
I will give with nothing
you take everything you need
Prayers lead where accusations failed
No matter how bright the gaslight burns
Tides shift as the wanderer treads past your unbreaking gaze
Eyes dilated
Blood flow stains the sand that you failed to retain
Praise be to my trying
Praise be to misguided paths leading onward
Praise be to the commitment behind thinly veiled promises
The glare in your eyes halts all progress
You pray to be satisfied
But you are empty
