Lonely for a feeling

Annett Louisan - šŸ˜Chancenlos

By Melissa IngoldsbyPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

check the change

You were left short

The bill came too late

When you tried to pay too early.

I’m so lonely for a feeling

I don’t understand

I’m so tired for that feeling

I’m

So afraid of what it can bring

Why do I have to worry

And feel so much

When it comes to such a latent sort of death

No head shot, it’s a tumor growing inside,

So very, very small and slow

It pinches at you

It leaps into your thesis

Of pain

But you cannot experiment with it,

It looks like a sad child

And swims like an Olympic champion

And blips on the radar only long enough to make a paranoid impression

I’m so scared

For that feeling

I’m so lonely knowing we all know it,

Every single one of us,

But pretend it is only a matter of time

A phase

Of anti-matter in a collapsing pit of split atoms and white hot stars.
