I

Despair

Your eyes trap me
in a well of staccato
reverberating off
brick walls moldy
with points of falling
needles and switchblades
to filet my soul
Tender feelings of
abuse comfort my
despair as I lie in
a worrisome state
wondering if I meant
enough to receive
more vile treatment
How long do I
muddle and long
for your attention
