Mess
Clutter, I call it. Sentimentality. An attachment.
Some rational people would call it a mess.
Objects scattered. Thoughts left across the floor.
I look to the reflection of my mind,
Thrown, left, forgotten. How could I forget?
I’ll tidy it later. I’ll remind myself. I’ll get more organised.
A rotting excuse, as my thoughts trail through my door and leak across the room, too much for my hands to hold. So I let go.
Ripped up sheets, photographs,
The bin has surpassed its limit.
Mugs gather dust, along with the remnants of my last sip of energy,
When I could be bothered.
Broken hourglass,
There’s only so much sand left in me.
Before I make a mess.
