Disgust

Always wait 'till it's gone

Always blind even when taught

Always deaf even when sought

 

Only looking back at what was

Only pilling bricks on my walls

Only gulping bile in my rue

 

Coulda had, coulda got

Coulda grabbed, coulda talked

Coulda laughed, coulda loved

 

Emptied comforts, emptied joys

Emptied rooms, emptied possibilities

Emptied mind, numb false serenity

 

Only broke up by

Intense flashes of

Sanity.

Disgust.
