The Poetry Book

Boredom

My mind rests easy when you're around

You fill me with thoughts of purity

But when you leave, my peace can't be found

Just like you, through open doors flees my security

I plunge into boredom, a land I fear

I seek for a way out, but I know I can't flee

Boredom kills me, can't you see dear?

Come release me, only you have the key

You don't come back for me, and I have time to think

You find me soon, you think you saved me

Oh but my dear, we have begun to sink

And it soon becomes easy to see

You never left me, and you'll never be done

As you and boredom have become one
