unspent pennies...

Do you know how many wishes
Lay unspent?
Did you see your wish as it fell...

Do you know how many rose petals
Lay strewn across the floor
Did you see the roses at your door?

Did you see the words
As pain upon my face
When you walked past me
Without a smile?

Did you not see me?

Did you hear,
The larks mournful song
Echoing in the twilight

Did you see the leaves
Falling one by one
Fading colors
Autumns washed

Too many hours
Spent wishing alone

No fairy tale endings,
Only absence ....

Fragmented

emptiness, and lies
strings of broken promises
pearls on a lonely neck.

whispered secrets, hidden notions
compromises...

frayed ends, the hangmans noose
curled, fetal, fragmented, forgotten

I am all of the above, I am nothing!
