In the endless rot, misery blooms
In the endless rot, misery blooms
Stuck in the coil,
It repeats, it decays.
Stars foretold in gloom.
Nights of frost;
Worthless thoughts.
Stagnant. Eternal.
Eroded dreams
Linger in agony.
Wish them away
In silent screams.
Unyielding sorrow,
Guilt-branded joy,
Turn music to noise,
Art into a wound
Bleed out desires. Drink wicked ire.
Recall the past.
–The worthless flutter–
Remember each word,
Find every mistake;
Naught for answers.
Try the old, fail anew.
Seek to change, drown again.
–Unfathomable malice–
It won’t shatter. It won’t change.
A bleak fantasy pulls me,
And I sink.
–Beneath the lethargy–
Bliss is bound to fade;
Despair forever to remain.
By echoes buried,
Crumble to the infinite deep.
“Hang in there!”
–Forlorn and hollow–
“Hold a bit longer”.
–Stranded in memories–
“Don’t lose hope”.
–You’ll need it for the fall–
Happiness is my bane:
Bait for the next day.
Inflicting fiction.
–Promises never to be–
There is no resolution,
just death postponed.
–Wake up to a worse tomorrow–
I can’t escape.
Today, as before,
As hereafter,
For time untold,
I am stuck...
Caught in a loop.
