Back office junkyard
A single computer screen piercing the dark
Moscow clock reads 7am
Various obscure reports litter the floor
Ex-latte-chino whatevers and chewed pens

A lone employee slumped in a cheap swivel chair
Mouth half open eyes half closed
Hair ruffled by frustrated hands
Coodinated tie losely tied
Like a noose before it tightens

Its wasn’t ment to be like this
But where else would he be
True love forever lost
For nothing
Meaningless piles of nothing

He never told her
Now its too late
A single tear rolls down his cheek
His eyes gently shut
An ungiven bouquet falls from his hand

Very gloom filled and painful to read. I liked it, it showed reality.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown
