8 am
Lying in party's darkest hour
Mind rattling, thoughts battling
No sleep, no shower
A will with no power
Sounds building images
Collages of unstoppable impressions
Night's confessions
They speak to me:
"Hear that deep slow breath?
Fear that sleeplike death.
Near, there's couples having sex
Between empty cigarette packs.
Why don't you?
Why don't you?
Why do they!
Regret every thought you didn't do
And those you had too much too!"
But a will to enact or surpress,
Fails without power nontheless.
Leaves the mind to confess
unrestrained neediness.
Overly empathic
And utterly pathetic.
