Lonely we imagine
that love is an
elusive dragon
dragging us
from the corners of
shaded chambers.
Eyes flashing danger,
as breaths of ember
threaten to render
our tender flesh
to cinders.
Her feline eyes
are slender slits
of baleful irises
staring with
the ravenous ache
of a predator
ready to take
that which sustains
and entertains.
I want a new life
in the sun
no more strife
to run from
but years of
love and fun
that will
hopefully come.
Can we be
fine without past
if we find happiness
and peace
presently.
The lesson is
we are not less then
other men
but different
in our radiance.

Some may shine bright
while others wear a light
that is on another spectrum
one that most humans
are not even looking for.

I've lost faith in forever
And have come to accept
That what we had is now
A never
I am not depressed,
barely dressed
in a long shirt
and dark blue sweats.

I just want to sleep,
let me be
free
from your
wanna motivate me
society.

I’m not complaining
cause even though
it is really raining
and my room
doesn’t have much heat,
I got more than
I need to eat.

I just can’t seem
to gleam
any energy.

Generally,
I am a much better
version you see,
but this week
I think
I just need
a vacation
from that
urgency,

so, I am going to sleep.

Please do not wake me.
