Barren & Barred

Walking towards

Nowhere

Mired pair 

naked tiptoeing 

Nailed

onto the wall 

of our past

is my soul

wandering-

searching for no one

but the old self

I talked to 

a decade ago---

your broken mirror

reflects

-

Who?

An Empty Soul

promising 

shallow facade 

oh-

deceiving-

demanding-

Must

I 

give 

UP?

Nothing.

No one.

No man-

No!

I let go of our memories

Thrivin'---

Yes!

I shall

give 

IN to

Nothing.

No one.

No man.

Never.
