Hanging on in Distopia

All I am is everything and nothing

My arms are wide enough for your nonsense

As we ride right on thru deserts of our life

I hold you like tomorrow could never change my mind

My arms embrace you as you turn away

I take my ground & I take my chances

I love you because you are cold

Haunted, tired, alone,

Because you needed it

I give out love like candy

To all that ache for sweetness

While I hunger

You give your body bold

Though there is but a shell to hold

You are a deadman and I am a ghost

I won't let it weigh me down

You can't take what I don't give

I hang onto the minutes because

I believe in the power of other days

Sunshine &  infinate rays

To save us, the children of our social  apocalypse

Wonderful read and subliminal messages seeps through, thoroughly enjoyed the way this penning was written.

I loved many lines throughout this work "...I give out love like candy
To all that ache for sweetness
While I hunger..." extemely bold statements~loved it!

and then here;
"...You are a deadman and I am a ghost..." WOW!!

Thank you for sharing and it is great that you are enjoying the den,

You can't take what I don't give >>
