endless

time is a tunnel

presently

it is relentless
this fight between gay and grim
this balance is thin

gay as is happiness
grim as in ****
because life is relentless
and doubt spoils it

why some people don't waste their breaths

how do people speak so much about nothings

and then she said she didn't like the colour of the bag and I realized I don't have a shirt to go with these pants but the pants go with the cardigan but what do i wear with them and he is so kind and he lives close by but i am not sure if i should and i promised myself to stay away from social media but its not so bad and I thought you told me but remember when...

empty promises

it's just like how one collects water from a deep deep well,
and by the time the bucket makes its way to the surface,
no water is left
and no one dare sees the hole.

get away from me

hello little gnat
flying so small
in my ear,
with a noise like that

in my neck, in my ear,
clever little thing
no one else can hear you
or see your buzzing wings.

this side that side
round you go
buzzing in my ear
nobody will know

escape

where did we go
so far across oceans
that we forgot about the fruit
of our backyard tree?

I want to go somewhere
despite this proclamation

ennui

I am dust, a shell, a forgotten sweater
unravelling in darkness
ennui is stuck
inside of me
