summer awakens that joy in me

not the kind

people attempt to attribute to poetry

(go read some poems,

idiots,

go find out that poets

aren't always joyful,

go discover that sadness

you?

the end,

the hope,

the forgotten?

yes, child, 

i know you.

you?

the lost,

the love,

the pain?

you, 

the light at the end of the tunnel?

yes, i know you.

I am falling,

falling into an abyss of darkness

falling into an inferno of flames licking your body

falling into the cold and jagged sea

I am being swallowed,

swallowed by an aura of deep black dread

No one likes you 

They say

But I really don’t care anyway

I know that there’s a bigger picture

A better life around the bend

Being disliked is no the end

Or is it?

I tip toe inside carefully

the room feels empty and cold without you here

abandoned

your faded teddy bear sleeps on your bed

your pink sheets already seem duller

there's still piles of smelly clothes on the floor
