Take Me or I Shall Be Taken

Commit my heart to dust...
...Vaporized with the passing of time
And the dullness of everyday living.
Commit my feelings to insanity?
I cannot live without knowing your touch...
...Cleanse me of this sin and make another leave...
...But then this thought is the same sin I am trying to eradicate.

To blink at humanity's stupidity once or twice and to mock them for that is hypocrisy when I peer into my thoughts.

To know what love is and then to disdain all its tainted offerings...but maybe that was not real love to begin with.

You do not love me the same...anymore.
I look into you...you look away.
You've separated me from your nerves...severed all hope of my contacting your mind or stubborn heart.

I know that I am never alone.
I know that I shall never leave life.
I know that there will always be someone watching, whether it be me or the person in the shadows.
I even know that the passing of time corrupts inner peace...
...And because of that...
...Where has our happiness crept off to?
...Where is the depth of feeling and love in both your tone of voice and pleading eyes?

So now I have knelt down to the sodden earth in defeat. This rain threatens to overwhelm me and consumate what might have never been yours...
...Take me...
...Or darkness will.
And I shall never return to your embrace.
