A/N: I dug this one up a few minutes ago, as I was cleaning out my desk. I wrote it last February, so this wasn't born of my current state of mind; regardless, I hope you like it.

****

I walk 
On the path
Of broken promises.

I walk
On the path
Of worthless hopes.

I walk
On the path
By which others
Can break in,
Can get inside,
Can hurt.

I walk 
On the path
Of credulousness.

I walk
On the path
Of lingering whispers
That spit
Nothing but lies
at me.

I walk
On the path.
Me, alone.
I do this;
I cause
The exacerbation,
I cause
The transparency.

The blame 
Is all mine.
So I stand
Here
On this path
Of emptiness,
With my arms
Wide open.

And I wait.
