#directionless
How long will you stay uninterested? In this relationship like me, even you have invested. My idea of intimacy is based on my lifelong emptiness. Have you too felt the pangs of loneliness? How long have I been lonely in this world? Well, essentially since my lonely & difficult childhood. And now you might ask me another counter question. If I had my parents along, why this notion? Now, tell me, is having parents is sufficient? Surely, we need siblings, friends, and a joint family. Grandparents help you endure the pangs of loneliness. Dear, have you ever been directionless? How can you judge me based on your experiences? Come to my world, take your time to assess.

Intimate Me About Your Idea Of Intimacy
I'm a ship without a captain I sail wherever the wind takes me I have seen troubled waters, but I always feel powerless to turn I'm a navigator without a compass I don't know where my heading is I cannot find the North Star, but I don't need to in these doldrums I'd rather remain here Hear my wish! O shooting star - Bless me with an eternal tonight So I can forever gaze at the stellar sky

Make a wish tonight
11:54 A clock glares upon me like the devious desert sun. How many times have these hands made this voyage? The sands seem so vastly changed from yesterday 11:55 A single minute vanished in midair so soon Did that moment matter? Did it mean more than time? Minutes together create time but alone stand hollow 11:57 Life slips away with this departing time Still I sit here staring at a comical clock The unforgiving frozen mess that is my world 11:58 A heavy awareness of time voids its' truths This clock being watched laughs in secrecy Moments stolen; memories changed by these hands 12:00 Another day finished and again air is stale The time has arrived to surrender again Seconds that will never come again have passed Minutes that never came will come again today

The Hands Molesting Time
*What more is being lost, than not knowing where to go for the fingers that hover over the lettered keys have nothing to say* And the half empty ink-pot with a dried stuck cap, is dancing to the cries of the un-tuned borrowed guitar mocking the silence of a silent heart as the shadow of a flame mocks the dark So long have I whistled this tune, or is it just my forte?

All the roads to take, or is it all just a fake!
There once was a wandering girl, but she didn't wish to be. She only wanted to find her way, but the night was dark and she couldn't see. The darkness mattered not though, the girl thought in her head. Even if it was light, she would still be filled with dread. How do you find your way, if you don't know where you're going? If you didn't plan accordingly, you have no way of knowing. Would she choose a path or cut a trail? Would she become strong or would she stay frail? Would she ever figure it out? Would she ever conquer her doubt? She often wondered if anyone else ever felt as lost as she. That sad, wandering girl who didn't wish to be.

Now What?
Life is not running smoothly at the moment. I feel alone, directionless and desperate. I am worn out, emotionally and physically. Sometimes the burden of “keeping myself safe” is too heavy. It is asking too much of me to “manage” all of... the follies, the nightmares, the triggers, the shame, the embarrassment, the rage the internal voices who scream and cry and rage… all with no support. It is too much! And trying to avoid all of that **** is like avoiding breathing, which I would not mind doing right now. Something has to give. There is only so much one person can deal with day in and day out every single day and night! There is only so much! I am not equipped to handle an entire Pie of Crazy

Hot slice of crazy pie!
Every page turned is wasted time Every word written is wasting lines Just another drop of poison To fill cracked veins Or to prove a heart's still beating Sliced in half and completely drained No one is as they seem Our emptied black sockets See nothing bar An empty, gray beauty Precious things will break, my dear And we're all slowing down In this world that keeps turning

Slowing Down
Too much rain for a good day She dreams the door won't open There's the scrape of metal again And the face of a stranger pokes at happiness Enough to evoke a bright smile from the dead She's a ***** just as all of us Her familiar gesture calling in Sober drones who use her and run Sarah's familiar gesture calling Friendly, friendly, always Dreaming of closings

Sarah's Familiar Gesture
This sore saviour keeps a straight-faced stare Lips pressed tight, tongue wedged in teeth While watching indolence twist in haste To reach the next refuge Revulsion that we two symbols share That same motion-sickness fear One of action, the other of consequence Or lack thereof; without / within

a gap in thought, attention.
