The Chasm

Once I saw an emptiness in your deep blue eyes and wanted to fill it.
But when I followed the emptiness into your broken heart,
I found a chasm that I could not cross.
Where you buried her, the flowers grew to full bloom.
When you buried me, I was yet alive,
And you wondered why I scratched and clawed.
My tomb is now open and abandoned, I am free at last...
But when I look back, I see no flowers, no mourners, no fanfare.
One cannot compete with the dead and still live.
Today I saw an emptiness in your deep blue eyes and wanted to fill it.
But now I know that no one can but you...
