Ever so slowly
Mindless chatter fills my ears
But deep inside my skull
Is an ongoing war
Between what should and cannot ever be
A constant tension builds
Day by day
A sabotaged friendship
A lost love
A dream that never ends
But why do I worry?
Why should I care?
Self-destruction is inevitable
At this point at least
Life goes on
Civilization progresses
But I’m still stuck here
Glued to the floor
Covered in dust
And ashes from a soul that
Had burst into flames
The moment I kissed him.
