Vacant Stares

by Lioness   May 7, 2012


I'm starring into nothing;

but nothing seems to
be the only thing
surrounding my heart
lately.

Though I have noticed
my anxiety heightens
whenever I think of
you.

My teeth would rip
the skin from my fingers
just so I don't focus
on the way you're making
me feel.

I could never understand
the way my thoughts
would try to connect
with each other,
as if to make some
kind of story.

My mind is cluttered
and the story never
forms, so I am left
living without a
beginning or
an end...

and I wonder

am I even
living at all.
