We awoke at dawn

Lying together like slumbering lions

Dreaming to the tune of an old song

that creeps and crawls in this petty place

Like salty clouds over Nod.



I look in mirrors and sigh

At too many reflections and dissections

Of the self,

We don't exist except in my head

And that's always been the problem.

But that's okay.



A little older and colder

Until our minds freeze over and our hearts cry

Black onyx tears of loathing and filth

Our only collected wealth to offer to anyone

A magnificent and terrible empire of nothing

When it should have been something, anything

To connect with another and have a lover

Of both soul and flesh,

the ultimate;

To be owned by and own another

Nicely done.  Have to say that's a fair bit of jaded wisdom for a 22-year-old, too.
