Overcast sunset
The clouds burning blinding white
The shadows dimmed and blurred
The edges of my mind
Fading faint
Is today an echo?
Are we soulless
Drifting noise
Of generations
Long since lost?

I will love you
Just a little
Past the moment
I die
After my body stops
And my brain grows cold
A few neurons will fire
Dimly in the darkness
And those neurons
Will be memories and thoughts
Of you

I can never say
impressive things
because I want
to impress you

I can whisper gentle
words that cut
and make them bleed
for the want of me
but they
don't concern me

I don't understand
Why I'm frail
and lost in doubt
when I speak
to you

I know where I stand
with them
Two feet from desire
and closer to
seduction

Where am I with you?
Am I even a thought?
The ghost of a feeling?
I think I am fading
past unimportant.
