Destitute soul, nourished by moments
Ordinary yet feeding, inconspicuous affections
Innocuous laughs, frustrating rituals
Molded into memory, heartfelt connections
Experiences, insignificant, mundane
Made joyous, in passage of time
Made painful, its inevitable march
Paralyzing, its power divine
Bonds perceived, misconstrued in innocence
Held irrevocably, only if interknit, received
Self deception, a love lopsided
Temporary play, allowed, appeased
Fresh wounds, inhibit retrospection
Incessant pings, bouncing in gray
Activating memories, an existential dread
Tucked safely then, now laid bare and fray
The chain unlinked
Soul drifts through the unbound
Floats aimlessly
Unknown, pained, confound
Countless beings, countless interactions
Shallow and futile, soul remains astray
Reaching out over and over
Ghost off-plane, trying to convey
Stare out the window, marvel at the infinite
Stars and light, intense and exhaustive
Holding all the answers
A hope, a spark, a pull deceptive
Amongst the stars, all I see is dark
Devoid of life, devoid of meaning
Ever expanding nothingness, a vacuum
Past bonds, too distant for my keening
Tears don’t relieve
Words left unseeded
The tightness stays
Unsolicited, unheeded
Saints preach
Solitary soul
Cut ties of the self
Raise towards One goal
Her nudge, a final hope
Turn-around a life remiss
Only faith left, for distressed thread
Forestalling a fall into the abyss
