Brewed cold,
at the thought of the linger of this
believing I had outstretched the nightmare
over slept time

My choice involved, neither heads or tails
it was never that pretty, that easy

Cold spot coincidence where I stand alone
I know the bricks fit
There should be no breeze upon my neck

Swarmed hourly, someone has varnished my skin
my heat remains, under layer of bold
that is wearing pit stomach black thin

When will you leave me to shiver
on my own, on my own

It never improves, with time nor reason
only deepens the crack to feeling
reckless erosion with every tear I cannot suppress
I fear, I will always regress.

Instant karma's gonna get you.

OHHHH Gem!!!!
This is amazing!!!
God . . .

It never improves, with time nor reason
only deepens the crack to feeling
reckless erosion with every tear I cannot suppress
I fear, I will always regress.

The worst fear of them all
to never move forward!
Oh, you are brilliant
Thank you
This is one of your best indeed

I like the phrases in this,
And although I’m not sure of what the challenge was
Enjoyed the brooding nature.
Inspirationally good

.
Brewed cold,
at the thought of the linger of this
believing I had outstretched the nightmare
over slept time
.
Dry ice bold
Burns my finger with a hiss
Relieving in pain my dreams despair
In echoing rhyme.
My choice involved, neither heads or tails
it was never that pretty, that easy
.
The blur of numbered wheel impales
My mind and stomach go queasy.
Cold spot coincidence where I stand alone
I know the bricks fit
There should be no breeze upon my neck
.
I sweat profusely frozen to the bone
The shakes won’t quit
As the burning shatters all my self respect
Swarmed hourly, someone has varnished my skin
my heat remains, under layer of bold
that is wearing pit stomach black thin

I exist minute to minute and there within
My soul in heat body in cold
All consumed by this nightmare I’m within
When will you leave me to shiver
on my own, on my own

Let die my heart’s pale quiver
Left alone, left alone
It never improves, with time nor reason
only deepens the crack to feeling
reckless erosion with every tear I cannot suppress
I fear, I will always regress.
.
There is no good time or best season
Into the depths I go falling
Worn away all remnants of happiness
In fear, living wastes in regress

hope you don’t mind me taking liberties with your poem
