Soliloquy

How do I live like this, enclosed in this space-
Afraid to breathe, too close to touch your face,
Too worried to exhale, stifled in this cage,
Too fearful to love, too scared to engage?

Sunk deep in this game of most whatnots,
It takes but little to connect the dots.
How much can I sink, how far do I go?
If at all I had any right to know…

Why could it not ease past and just end
And leave me mourning the loss of my friend?
Why is it hell-bent upon staggering on
When civility and affection both have gone?

The morning brings with it a dollop of light;
I turn around and darkness assails my sight.
Pointless antique harms and takes a turn
Leaving my needy soul to seethe and burn.
