whisper: "hush"

...and speak sideways, dance around a truth - hide behind a phrase (where meaning is hollow and hollow has meaning).

restless: "now"

...to break the silence and beg for its return; once more - lie (somewhere in between) impulse to thought then action.

look: "up"

...scanning skies for a sign to spark this moment to life, frantic to feed floating dreams; when desire lies underfoot (and has, all along).

We file
backwards
along the maze of life.

Running our hands
across
the walls to find a simple groove.

Desperate when .. our last match is used and the lights dim to black.

We speak
distant
asking for a dose of recognition.

Waiting for
someone
to understand; to give command.

Always dreaming of symmetry .. in all the wrong places.

....

I'm shattered
dissolved
