No One to Write For

We are our one, the only one

We know nothing of ourselves

Except all that we feel we lack

What do I need?

Foundation, something like it

Something that feels concrete

Maybe another body, to compete with

For the heat that exists just between us

There is no we, there is no other

There is only me

For now

For God only knows how long

I may be a selfish pest,

A self-righteous nobody

But we can't contrast ourselves

When we're all so scared and lonely

I may find the she

The it, the what

That inspires me to care

But the length of time

The lack of lust

I'm just shadows anymore

But I'm not special

I deserve no better

Because I do nothing

I accomplish nothing

I define limbo

I am within limbo

I am a vampire

I am feeding off your sympathy

And that's sympathy's leaving me

While I try to accept it

I'll try to breathe the light

Only to choke on the smog.
