Flawed Connection

Hollows sounds of footprints

inflicted wounds without repair

locked eyes of insanity

permeated fumes of anger

layered hills of decay

dark souls’ evening shadows

disconnected blood rivers

alienated and forgotten

muscular barriers to love

deadly words consuming

torn white garments

of wretched futility

untapped laughter

trapped in bottle

feeding failure

weighty millstone

suspended from neck

besieged mind

unfilled hunger

light shines

on road ahead

I must leave

chance to breathe.
