Overwhelmed,
helpless.
Desiring
wanting but not
getting:
not even close.
Watch by as someone else
partakes.
Life
ends.
Life
is threatened.
Time
pushes me in on each side.
Conversations
loom.
Conversations
doom.
It
is done,
but the heart
is still empty.
Entertainment
threatens,
deadens.
Hope
fails.
Sabotage
promises.
Lies
fail,
hang me
out to dry.
Why did I
listen?
I long to
glisten.
Alone, I
lay.
You
leave me
for them?
My God,
rescue.
