Self Sabotage

Things can suddenly 
take their toll,
Emptiness creates an
even bigger hole.

Your only company is
a shadow on the wall,
Because you purposely avoid 
every text and call.

Can't bear the thought 
of making small talk,
So you return to bed
dragging your feet as you walk.

You throw yourself down
letting out a deep groan,
Pushing loved ones away
just to be left alone.

Hoping each day
for happiness to return,
As you wait for this stage
of self-sabotage to be done.
