this place is ruining me
i need some sun.
the outside world seems alien.
i just dont know anymore.
------
this is angsty
---
and crap
-
and not at all what you think it is about.
---------
so again.
---
sod off, you wont read it anyway.
-----
sat upon the bench
beside this sink
head turned
angled down
and to watch it spiral down
the depth of my heart.
the reflection of mine
not this staring person
who back at me lies
down the rust lined drain
and with it all sense of logical chaos.
reason begets helpless fantasy
of progression
movement towards that goodnight
yet to stand, sit, completely still
by reflections of mine
by rusty drains
is the failure of each promise
laid down in the wash of this sink.
by promises of forward movement
which have unstitched themselves from the underside of my skin
i pull threads of calm from the lining.
precious things
that escape us all.
precious regret
that resonates from that rust lined drain.
time.
which will weary us all.
