Suffocating loneliness Drowning—deep seas of nothingness Clenching fists Squint through an emotional mist Everyone will wallow But what follows such sorrow? A repeated pattern As the rings circle Saturn So too—your mind attempts to fathom Around and ‘round(?) them. Trip, chase, flip, brace Circle back Nothing lies ahead But dread and your tear tattered torn face Push aside pleasures Once valid safety measures Empty—to be forgotten forever? Unfortunately never Reach out—take a chance. I… Miss what once was, us two Left stains of sadness, residue Let words become lost, misconstrue Feel excellently engraved, worn tattoo Am at the end of your line, long queue Was stupid, so Boo outgrew Did all that I could, untrue ’m stuck—skin tugged, like glue But all that choked through was— I miss you Seen—and scene The cycle begins anew… Ten hours and forty-two–
