The Empty Bed

A restless murmur within and without

Squeezes and seizes the open soul

With a breathy air of teasing doubt

That curdles and swallows the spirit whole.

These lonely nights caress and stroke

A wanderlust of angst on thread

That the Fates do snip to choke

A life once awake now sleeping dead.

Which is worse, I ask myself...

To starve oneself with spicy feasts and intimate famine.. always teetering on the brink of emotional death....
or to be faithfully, eternally nourished by tasteless meals?

I have chosen to live, while longing for those shared moments worth dying for.

It is shameful a choice was ever forced.
