the ass-end of space

I've lost
the pleasure
in breathing
eyes clouded over
by uniform grey
food isn't
sustainence
it's filler
shoveled into
the voids
drink isn't social
it's anesthesia
for the surgery
of thought
i ..........
not out of any sense
of eroticism
it's become a habit
something to do
to pass the time
or help me sleep
which doesn't come
as easy or as often
as it once did
when the echo of
a thousand useless days
keep me up nights
that stretch into weeks
that stretch into years


Like I said one day I'm going to throw all of you off by writing a happy poem..one day grin

This is so sad. But like your other beautifully written.

damn bud.... you pegged it here...

as usual.. excellent write.... pointed and gritty with those understones of angst that make it come alive in its own....

Enjoyed...

Raph:

I do know that passing of time into days into weeks into months and then you look back and whoa!  ten years have gone by and you feel like it was yesterday . . .

we all have our own anesthesia . . .
seems as if at least one of your outlets
are still breathing . . .

I'm with you here and this write
is stunning
xxoo

No words of compliment can compare to the words you've written here.  Well done!

Aenimal, this hits home for me.  Have been enjoying your writings.  They don't need to be "happy" in order to learn something from them, which is why I read.  Although when you're ready you're going to write a smashing good happy poem, too!  Into my library....
