Systematic discontent
Love is sapposed to fill a hole,
But what if it doesn’t,
Or never did,
What if you feel motionless in a sea of motion.
It’s always you’re fault,
They always leave,
Always back at that tree,
That blasphemous tree.
Friends—like relationships
Always came and went like seasons,
One day they wore Alive,
The next as dead as chilvery.
It’s always you’re fault,
You systematically fail,
Fail at every little thing.
It’s why you probably are so attached to the limelight.
If you stay center-stage, the MVP, the everything— it won’t happen again.
Right?

WRONG.
Everything will happens again and again,
Is systematically ingrained,
You will fail—they will leave,
They will be happier without you.
They always seemed to be.
And maybe the discontent with reality,
Makes you so drawn to the fictional men,
They love you unconditionally—a golden retriever even the fictional friends,
They won’t leave you if insecurity is a beast,
A beast that eats you whole daily.
Or maybe that’s just your fucked up way of it— the fucked brain chemistry.
Back under that oak tree you sit,
Alone—abound
Systematically,
Every year, maybe some odd months.
Every year, you’re loneliness
Creeps back to haunt you,
A poltergeist to never not touch,
Maybe it’ll be different
It different won’t be.
That oak tree sits their welcoming you back, to you’re Enteral suffering.

Counting the seconds,
Where you’re their alone,
For its lead to comfort—
Awaiting for the same sysematical,
Cycle to repent.
Maybe it’ll be different this time,
Unlikely.
