diving headfirst
into deep waters
of despair
drowning in
delusion's
delirium
:::oh:::
the glorious
vulnerability!
a pressed breast
against the swords
of indifference
and abandon
left
unnoticed
a dull ache
gives way to
stabbing
shooting
searing
within the
fabric
of fearing
a forever
forgotten
withering resolve
withdrawal
wantonly
beckons
manipulations
of meaning
to suit a dream
these garments
are worn
for the journey
on the gurney
to the morgue
The death
of dreams
of hopes
of desires
stillborn
emotionally
unavailable
inconsiderations
feelings
find
form
in fragments
displaced
impossible
complications
constrain
restrain
&
confine
confounding
and confusing
the clarity
for a creature
depressed
from disparity
"god helps those
who help themselves"
"What's in it for me?"
"To each his own..."
dog eat dog
take
take
take
inverse
reverse
involuted
convoluted
counter creation
all this talk of love
what emptiness of words
this vicious vacancy
a void
nullifying
& neglectful of
this tenacious
& tender
heart
deepening wounds
from a disconnected
& broken
depart
