Sometimes I wonder if
My eyes water so much because
My body is trying to cry the tears
My mind won’t let free

Rose Cliff Jul 2021

I can no longer tell
If I hunger for food
Or if I hunger for more
something
Anything
that can feed the chasm
Of my soul

My soul starves

Insomnia of the soul

I suffer from an exhaustion where sleep offers no remedy

Lack

I am a hollowed shell
Feeding off dreams and tomorrows
Except these dreams are two dimensional
And tomorrow never comes

1000 lethargies

Into the oblivion
of one thousand lethargies
...
I plummet.

Switch

We constantly flip the switch
                                  footsteps approaching *
“Hurry”
                                                 “Shhh”
               *flick
They can’t know we live in the dark

Finality

Finally,
I have the strength to say goodbye

Time brings all finalities and now it is time for ours
