Empty bed for two
Empty spot for a kitten
But no one comes home.
Dumpster diving for dreams!

Your need for power
Trumps the vows you spoke to me.
I stand defeated.

Beaten by silence,
But behind that wall lives rage.
Which one wounds me most?

Don’t prove me right:
I realize this situation is extremely ambivalent,
But choices can be made,
And with the destruction of every world
A new, different world is born.
Don’t prove me right:
All faith will be lost,
But not in you.
Faith that I’ll never find worth in something not broken.
Don’t prove me right:
Get off the floor.
Pick up the pieces.
You are not broken, unless you choose to be.
It’s all a choice.
There are no forever’s.
Don’t prove me right:
I am not broken,
Not anymore.
I just look for pieces to pick up and put together.
And in the end?
Tons of little broken bits,
And none of them fit together.
When boredom sets in they’ll get thrown back to the shore…
And so will you.
Don’t prove me right.
