emotion less

Desperation is not a feeling—
desperation is a response
to the absence of feeling.

It is a response to the absence of another
inscribed indelibly on the skin—
they call that loneliness,
confusion&frustration&sorrow
in quantities equating
e m p t i n e s s.

I AM NOT the center of attention—
i am a BLACK HOLE

gaping, desolation
like an expectation
mistaken
for acceptance.

I am sick with it

perception.

I am sick with it

deception.

Emotion less a letter is simply

motion—movmnt is involvd

whn happinss is a puzzl that
cannot b solvd.

Fleeting&imperfect&cold
I only want happiness
that can be sold—I buy
my lies beneath the stars,
kiss them goodbye once
the sun breaks the sky.
