Nothing

www.favim.com

in my darkest moments
i know you have deserted me
you have made up your mind to forget me
you refuse to allow me in
i cannot find my way in
and my pain is strong and raw

i want to be inside your flesh
running in your veins your blood
be the air that passes through your nostrils
the morsels on your taste buds
that your saliva engulfs 
and draw into your depths

how could you give our love away
and bind yourself to someone else
you called it magic
what we had
and that is what it has become
in the past tense

i am the dust 
you swept under your door mat
bitter is my heart
to know this the harsh truth
i never meant much to you
not half the things you meant to me
i am nothing
less than dust
no trace of me on you
nothing

  1. Dust is where we're coming from
    Dust is where we go
    "From Dust to Dust" says Genesis
    The Lord has made us so.

    Stardust, travelling from space,
    incited life on earth
    So never underestimate
    Dust's value and Dust's worth.

    The Dust of flowers, flying far
    spreads blossoms in the grassy fields
    pleasing the eye, filling the hands
    of children in manycoloured yields.

    Coal Dust even, under heat
    and pressure, dire circumstances,
    Forms to diamonds, strong and clear
    attracting all desiring glances.

    So when you feel annihilated
    by someone dumb and negligent,
    rise from that door mat, lift your head
    and overcome that sentiment.

    Dust of a crumbeled, gone relation
    is pretty good material
    To build a newer stronger self
    (and produce something lyrical).

    You are that flower, are that diamond,
    clear and strong and colourful.
    Glad to have you on this planet,
    giving us joys so plentiful.

    On the occasion of your birthday, best wishes,
    Maasikaru
