Hello Sir

Wed, 05/21/2014 - 00:25 -- Takumi
Hello sir, do you love me? 
 
Your answer will be engraved in my skin, my heart, my soul for as long as eternity can bear two 
 
letters. 
 
I expect no more than a blank stare from your empty eyes. 
 
Hello sir, will you hold me? 
 
Only the cold air will embrace my icy extremities. 
 
Life's skeletal fingers never sunk in to me either. 
 
Hello sir, can you hear me?
 
Questions will fall on empty ears and even my ability to maintain the title of sane will have 
 
diminished. 
 
No one has cared to listen before. 
 
Hello sir, can I trust you? 
 
Secrets of a mortal girl will fall from the lips of an invincible deaf. 
 
You are not my keeper. 
 
Hello sir, should I be this afraid of your constant gaze? 
 
I should not be so shaken by the simple look of a non existent entity. 
 
After all, you are merely my imagination.
 
Hello sir, is it my time? 
 
You will bear my midnight soul into an eternity of bright days underneath the crust of this world. 
 
I don’t have anything left to cling to anyway. 
 
Hello sir, can you show me the light? 
 
I’m not sure I care to see it but that’s how it’s suppose to go. 
 
I am ready for my cliche departure. 
 
Hello sir, why do you take him? 
 
Surely you love me more.
 
The prayer on his lips is far more potent than mine. 
 
Hello sir, does that thing appeal to you?
 
A religious zeal for the impossible should taint the taste of fear.
 
You have acquired a taste for the good ones. 
 
Hello sir, please reconsider.
 
Your poor choice in companion has left me alone with my thoughts. 
 
My thoughts will eat me alive before you do.
 
Hello sir, never leave me behind again. 
 
If I had been unsure of my desires before, this excursion into my mind has proved my point. 
 
I am no more worthy of the tortuous sun he worships than he is of the glorious night he so 
 
despises.
