Elucidating Questions

This is a set up

This is a set up before the set up

To the words that hurt

Burn like fire

The truth that hurts to hear

Lands

This is the reason I turn to the messenger with love

While I sigh and say

There really isn’t

Anyone here for me

Without turning to go

In between waiting

I miss him so I go

Watching the screen for something

My girlfriend

There was a pause

I thought

At least I’m so high I can’t feel it

This is the set up

Followed by sex which feels like

The emptiness is engulfing me

There is no one here

But you put them in my care

Now I can’t go anywhere

At least I can inhale ’till my lungs are sore.
