Incomplete

Folder: 
Bleeding with Love

i press my forehead against the cold mirror

avoiding the eyes of the one reflected

lest i drown in its despair,

hollow and empty, that is how i am,

as empty as the nothing that remains

everytime you say goodbye to me,

and i call for your merest touch

so that at last, this soul may rest.



on days such as this, the emptiness

leaves footprints upon the heart

and at instances create wounds gaping open

where memories bleed,

the cold contained within

engulfs the soul as lonely as this void,

its blankness cries for the touch of the one

who will fill it with warmth.



solitude is biting,

it's cruel and it's frightening

like a disease, it consumes

and the only remedy is found

in the rarest of touch,

the seeping of your essence

in every corner of my being

and every facet of this empty heart.



today, everyday, anyday

within this endless forever,

i beg of you,

complete me with a simple touch,

it is my cure, the only one i need,

to save me from the insanity

of being incomplete.

Just wanted to say another great work.. Awesome! I totally love the ending where it says "complete me with a simple touch,
it is my cure, the only one i need,
to save me from the insanity
of being incomplete." reminds me of some of my thoughts. So once again great job!!
