Time slipping, drifting, vanishing
And stuck in this reverie
I am conscious of all this
Existential discomfort
And it feels familiar and isolated
defenseless, powerless, defeated.
But… alive.
So so so so so so so
Alive and raw and ugly-beautiful.
Magnifying and captivating,
Exacerbated; sweet.
Your arms so close and so warm;
But not for me.
