Chapter Text
The weight of underserved love
Chest asphyxiation numb
Calligraphy upon the heart
As tart plaintiffs unremarked
Handholds used, but never cherished
Softness felt, but never earnest
Bristling guardrails, tarnished paint
Broken, bloody faucets taint
Seeking empty unfelt space
Over timely moments made
Artistry within the hollow
Caressed by nothingness, still awake
Poignant simplicities layered together
Piling sketches of mixed review
Juxtaposed across a century
Forgotten ashes, concrete new
