The Lost Connection Between Two Downward Spirals

April 11, 2014
Ever miss something that you
Really fucking shouldn’t?
Like something awful
The thing that could
Have very well ruined your
Life forever even though you
Only allowed it to for a year
Rather it only allowed itself
To, its self-servicing nature
Not realizing the downward
Spiral caused by the repercussions
Of its departure
Their world in equal turmoil
Soothing connection between
The disasters terminated
Nothing there to make
Sense of it all
An absence of the exchange of
Loving and understanding embraces
People around discussing the
Matter at hand
Even though they know
I treat it as a thing of the
Past, a death of two fault resting
On the shoulders of
He who was the detriment
 
Voices fail to acknowledge
Ears only having been open to
One side they close to my pleas
For silence
But please,
I’m already down

 

Stop kicking
