Cut Short By A Car Alarm

What do you romanticize when there is no beauty left?

There are no ponds to sit beside

There are no trees for me to write beneath

I haven't heard a bird sing to me in what feels like a decade

The light pollution has clouded my eyes and I'm afraid that if it ever clears I'll see this place for what it is and become so
