consists entirely of a
                       raging vortex of
                                       Fire and Ice

The Roses know
the way the rain falls

the library is shut
today once more

such odd opening hours
& the flustered moms

have nowhere to go
with their flock of kids

& the park is empty
surrounded by red brick

houses as if ambushed
& all the cats are asleep

it's always this way
in the rain before the 6pm rush

straight from the sofa or work
to the Chinese takeaway

Can be so painful, but I find myself wanting more.

you hope that being around other people will help you fill the hole in your heart but it only leaves you emptier than before. with the last substance that your soul is comprised of dripping onto the floor as you try to salvage what's left of it. you're alone, my dear. & it couldn't be more evident than when you're with other people. when you try to fill the hole with other people's presence.
