I should have walked away

 spit you out the minute I tasted your bitter sweet oppression

I should have shut my eyes instead of gazing inside the mesmerizing serpentine ever changing colors of your eyes.

I should have walked away

I should have known in my heart of hearts that this part of me could never be full ...empty entity is me

empty are my mornings dressed in pale yellow with an inert enigma of awe if only for woe

empty are my afternoons robed in pale blue as if washed and bleached and ran through the laundry mat of all hopelessness

I should have known

I should have walked away

shut my eyes

held back

retracted my every burning desire to be anything

but

empty

empty eyes

empty sheets and heart
