Scribbled Thoughts

19:50

Crushing disappointment

quickly masked

with a bright smile.

Confusion, and a touch

of anger, hidden behind

a perky greeting.

Who are you? And

where is the one I

will spend forever with?

---

19:51

Intertwined since the

beginning of time,

ripped apart by an

absent-minded

worker, too busy

earning a living to

consider the

consequences.

---

19:52

Keep working to

build your secure future,

your life of happiness

and fulfillment. Will

you ever reach it?

Or will the work

continue, until life

has been extinguished

forever?

---

19:53

Waiting with baited

breath over the years,

hoping for a whiff

of rumour to

fulfil my bloodhound

purpose.

Will it happen?

We can only wait,

and continue to

sniff.

(this one definitely needs more work)

---

19:54

Pieces of the past

that shaped me, no

longer fit in the jigsaw

of my life, but are

kept to one side, ready

to show themselves

when the puzzle changes.

---

19:55

To unlock the future

you need a key of

life. Not a shiny, new

key, but an aged, rusty

thing, full of story

and tear.

---

19:56

Suspended in view

but untouchable.

---

19:57

Wrapped up in

nostalgia, fond

moments whispering

smiles in your

day.

19:47

Unwarranted resentment

caused by dark

moods, gripping me

and refusing to

shake away.

---

19:48

Suffocation of

isolation, distance

and miles keeping

you trapped.

---

19:49

Self-sacrifice

releasing happy

endorphins.

A favour that

doesn’t benefit,

proving you can be

a decent person.

Peace of mind

a sign of humanity.

Who really did

who the favour?

19:44

Jokingly rejected,

but still the sting

is there.

Give a wavering

smile and turn

away, to hide

any evidence

you care.

---

19:45

Release the

ache of pressure,

and coax away

the twinges

of doubt.

Any tingles

of anxiety

melt away

with your

touch.

---

19:46

Lit up branches

of false nature.

Dangling treasures

displayed with

care. Self-proclaimed

star balancing

on the top, looking

down at the

satisfied faces,

as they

celebrate and

come together.

19:36

Knowing you

are leaving,

but not

knowing

when.

Do we acknowledge

it? Or carry

on? Do we

make plans

and begin to

mourn, while

you sit there,

drinking your

tea.

Will you miss

us when you’re

gone? Or will

you miss

life more?

---

19:37

Counting down the

breaths you have

left, lungs

knowing their

retirement is

near. Are you

aware it is

the end?

Or do you

still fight,

to live in

this selfish

world that

doesn’t

deserve you.

---

19:38

A promise of

self-sufficiency,

broken in

less than a

year.

---

19:39

Dancing in

the memories

of perfect

harmony.

(Had a good day for inspiration it seems).

---

19:30

Standing against

the test of

time, feeling

my structure

stretched thin

and begin to

crumble.

Witnessing life

begin and

end, people

mourn and

forget.

---

19:31

A growth is

festering on

me, becoming

a part of my

being as it

sucks away

my life.

---

19:32

Prep bench

of isolation,

for all

your training

needs.

---

19:33

Patched-up

pain ripped

open and

exposed,

the sting

more deadly

the second

time in

view.

---

19:34

Experiences that

shaped me

you will

never see.

Moments that

define…

(Still working on this one)

---

19:35

Secrets and

confessions,

intrigue and

nerves.

Is this the

big exploration?

Or does it

continue

onwards?

Break your

shackles,

lift your

suppression…

But will your

freedom be

the end

of me?

19:25

The almighty

troll,

hiding in

the zeroes

and ones.

Their weapon

a deadly

keyboard,

and words

the whole

world can see.

---

19:26

Staring at a

source of

warmth

with eyes

unseeing,

too busy

feeling the

bone-chilling

cold to

register

the answer

before you.

---

19:27

Spread thin

across the

surface,

nothing left

to fortify

my essence.

---

19:28

The land of

moaning,

the plain of

indignation.

Echoes of

disappointment

and shouts

of protest.

---

19:29

Tangled to

the point of

dependence,

the though

of separation

both terrifying

and

repulsive.
