Gravity pulls decayed bones
Into a cesspool of lies
Dim grows the soul emptied of love
Muting sparkling eyes
Death multiplies wounds
Exposing chasms widened by seasons
Abandoned spirits scheme to be soothed
Bringing death to truth and reason
Her hunger is insatiable
Since left to build dreams alone
Empty wrappings litter the path
To the doorway of her home
Remnants of her sad chocolate frenzy
In quest to fill the sickening empty
Bridging the gap between her occupied bed
And her hollow belly
Taino Queens cry red tears
Mourning the sight of their Fallen Angel
Lost in a chase for contentment
Through cold lonely nights that sting
Numb from empty promises
With frigid lifeless embraces
Fleeting icicle kisses
Dissipate into nocturnal nothingness
Blue Moons pass un-noticed
As she sits in anticipation
Of hearing the words ‘I love you’
From lips smeared with obligation
They float through heavy air
Spoken to appease her
In an attempt to feed her,
If only for a moment
On days when the sun beams brightly
And chocolate treats with loose wrappings
Are abundant
She smiles again from her empty soul
And a flicker of spark lives in her eyes
Embracing a temporary fill of her void
If only for a moment
