I am Gone

I am gone, now that you have left.

No more does the soul's building blocks

have its architect.

All designs left unfinished, all futures

uncertain.

The demolition crew has plenty of work today.

No longer laid off as their pockets soon

bulge with my grief.

I have gotten what I deserved.

Paid my penance in the lonely light.

While I overflow ashtrays and paint my lungs

black.
