Dreams devolve
We age and grow up
Nothing that we wanted
Did we get
Desires left unchecked
Spent all our time
Wondering about nothing
Excessive pinning
For a soul
That was never meant to be with us
Though I try to move on
I linger still
Contriving over and over
That which never existed
Looking for a faint wisp
Of that flame once felt
But nothing ever adds up
Longing for a tell tale
But eyes dart away
Quickly abandoning
Nauseant dreams
That only serve
To make us ill
And still we falter
Searching for meaning
In what lost meaning long ago
An image
A word
A verse
A memory
A passage from a book
A movie
Always brings you to mind
But you’re getting hard to find
As I drown on painful
Existential thoughts
That I’m not worth a ****
