Loveless

Me, oh my, hopeless I am;

Thud, thud, thud against my skin 

—the punishment for my carelessness.

8:00pm now

Shouldn’t I be studying for that test

Oh, fuck it.

Thoughts, rushing, pouring, drenching my mind.

Once upon a time perfection warmed the air

Once upon a time perfection sweetened the bitterness of the world

Silently reminiscing, delicately dwelling

My life, in a nutshell
