Untitled

Is there cause in my reverie
My miserable cerebration?
The bliss of lovers stings
My jaded eye; and I am emptied.

Hell, enough of that
Those pompous words say nothing
Of this very real misery

I have cause
I have reason
Do not walk past me smiling
Do not come near me laughing
I may steal these things from lovers
And pass them through me
Without nourishment
Passing through as ash

I am not better
I am not more
There is no substance to me
Regardless of how many times
I eat my heart
