Jading of Man
It is an undying epidemic. The way to cope were constant escapades. Distinctively, an imagination can always be a comfort zone. It never began as a choice.
Indifference is a mere expression of a white empty wall
Eyes lost the luxury of closing when the mundane overwhelms
Lips do not part for a kiss
Emptiness is disguised as most sought after flavor --
While tastebuds imagine their own stimulation
Hands fall asleep on the sheets like waiting for another half to come home
Provides me more sympathy for those needing comfort to a fault
My white empty wall was a substitute for the clouds
Clouds reminded me of the cycle drenching thirsty seeds
This fantasy thrusted the future wedding with George into the drawing sheets
Its entry occurred in time of punishment
I sat in the chair after my eyes suffered in viewing an unwarranted explosion
All I sought was a distraction from red, orange, and yellow rising
The wall was a cooling effect to my boiling cauldron
Shifting my position to one born out of hypervigilance to a dying war
Would this win the competition of sitting inside a flower?
This stare would explain why hiding behind trees added to blooming fear
I turned to the eyelids for comfort away from the floating comfortability
Developing a list of fears consisted of sight and sound
Any person using their mouth in combat--
Would be great at creating distance with me
It adds to the difficult conversation through eye contact
Its effects linger in the staring contest of the white empty wall
A blank expression disguises a cauldron
It is the biggest fear of seeing the wall again
It reminds me of the gradual death that once kept me safe.
