Sleep eludes me
Staring into blackness
The darkness a cavern
Vast oppressive
Emptiness engulfing me
Battering my soul
At sea on a rudderless boat
Nothing in front
Nothing beside me
The silence deafening
Debates with the devil
Why am I here
Where should I go
What is my purpose now
Who would even care
Evening mantra
Pounding my brain
The body a mere cicada shell
Hollow untouched unwanted
The heart beating a dull ember
Drafts of despair sweep
A weathered stone
All alone
Tick tock went the clock

Wonderful writing. Enjoy your weekend! Can easily relate
Thank you we push on 🙂
Indeed 🙂
A piece of beauty. Lonliness is haunting. It is where sit. In the darkness. A glimpse of light. We follow that light. Light is life. Thank you, a kindred spirt consumed by the passion of writing.
Thank you dear friend, you are spot on 🙂
I know and you know what this about. A kindred spirit in Dallas. Thank you, BB
