On a boat in a stale pond

To imitate the great seas
Too cowardly to explore

feeling the cold chill.

Hand in hand
With myself
Hoping one day
I can let the
Pain from the past
Disappear
And let myself
Be whole

Enough to eliminate
The soft parts of her
He never associated the bones
To the pale girl

Almost as if in a Hell.
Almost like I am
Under some sort of a spell.
Hoping soon I will be well.

Calluses

My hands,
Eroded by life’s troubles,
Quake in fear,
I see it approaching,
Intense and meaningful,
Is a subtle death.

Cradled in valiant fort

Vastness being inside the dot
White dreams ignobly sold

such longing in a long sad, drawn-out train whistle
do metal objects have feelings?
this sound makes the idea plausible

Shattered hearts
Lifeless inside
Now apart
Joy became hatred
Love destroyed
He's gone
And left a void
