Around Me #3
October
4, 2000
The quiet; A world that
hangs above my own....waiting.
Old loss; a gentle smile when I cry
Depression; a blue beaded chandelier in the sunlight
Self-hatred; A small red box of spit
Realization; waking early to watch the sunrise
Madness; having nothing to lose
Passion; the shadow of your body covering half of my face.
Goodbye; A bright light, a single bottle of beer, and the sound
of the refrigerator door closing
Loneliness; Yourself, an overflowing motel ashtray, and a clock.
