The Acid of Your Smiles
"Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live"
--Norman Cousins
There comes a point…
When a smile isn't enough
All the platitudes of my beating heart
Become meaningless trinkets; Fake
Even the words, never meaningless
Becoming a branding on raw, unhealed flesh
You smile, I smile back
The fleeting moment is not enough; Empty
Drops of water
Hollows the rock
My heart is not a stone
Your smiles are not raindrop; Fate
Please don't misunderstand
You, my most precious person
But I'm a mortal man
And the chains in my heart are melting; Hide
In darkness, everlasting hunger
Writing my testimony upon sand
Devotions fading into routine
Then into the abyss of hated obligation; Temptation
Things inside me
False True. Ruthless Cold Unlovely. Things.
Ever strain against
The weakened chain of my heart; Blind
My most innocent one, most precious one
How can your blameless smile
The acid upon the chains of humanity
Only thing left for myself; Destiny
Save for my dying heart
I go on, driven to naked nothingness
My false soul, my secret enemy
Moistened with drop of your blood
Ever dissolving all that I am; Acid
