The End

Away

I loved her
and she loved me,
bliss and joy,
infinity.

The years went by
and one by one,
more and more
of me was gone.

Thus came the day,
I dare not say,
that bliss and joy
did fade away.

.

Apart

I sit in the dark, alone.
What now?

I stare at my self in the mirror.
Who are you?

I burst into tears at the supermarket.
Why continue?

I now often talk to myself.
Where do I go?

I no longer get invited to parties.
What happened?

I wonder when it all went wrong.
Was it me?

I decide and change, haphazardly.
What am I missing?

I am finally free.
Will I die alone?

.

Aether

Here I stand,
at the end of the rainbow –
endless possibility.

Confounded –
the strive,
not the gold,
had mattered.

.

Ambivalence

I want it
all
now
forever.
