122 : empty

you and i

the puff off cotton off empty nicotine
the sip of an empty water bottle 
a final desperate pull of a cigarette
an empty milk carton over a bowl of dry cereal
oversleeping to a groggy exhaustion
stale food in a hungry stomach

disappointingly desperate
painfully finishing
my river has run dry
my love runs endlessly
but
my patience has run dry
