Restless Repose

I am broken my bones will not endure this sum of memories feelings thoughts under the loveless sun they are crushed. Peer long into this grave this pit of despair this black permanence no heart is left there snuffed out by potentialities by unrealities all great illusions die this way. Deep is my slumber cold in my chest it suffocates me entombs me a gathered gloom is frozen recompense for all my imaginations hopes and delusions now put to sleep I lie in restless repose rotting no lover’s kiss for me nay my woeful screams are unheeded unneeded by anyone that could matter did matter I’m forgotten in this permanent filth of despair.
