Strange Days In Advanced Stage Loneliness
somewhere in the back of the freezer,
there is an old gallon of ice cream
somewhere in the middle of the refrigerator,
there is a cup with some cold cashew milk in it
somewhere deep inside of me,
there is a hollow space where my heart used to be
my whole body has been replaced by ice
my whole mode of thinking has been overtaken by the mercilessness of the cold
in the center of everything that is me,
there are no friends
in the corners of my life that used to be free,
there are no ends
at the surface of every angle that struggles to be,
there is no life who depends
somewhere along the way,
i lost touch with the rudiments of life
someplace within the decay,
i allowed black cloud normality to simply suffice
at some point between the turn of night to day,
i ceased all efforts to healthily sacrifice
the ice cream is now gone
there is no more cold cashew milK to sip on
all that remains is bad gas, regrets, and many wishes
i now barely exist counting the merciless gnats as i wash the same six dishes
