Alone; not lonely
I tell myself out loud
Aā¢lā¢oā¢nā¢e nā¢oā¢t lā¢oā¢nā¢eā¢lā¢y
I feel my pulse, yes a heart
Alone not lonely
She bled; and every month I
Suffered more, I could not save
Her bleeding soul,
Alone not lonely
I see myself
Alone not lonely
I breath alas
Alone not lonely
This day of all
Alone not lonely
Lies were told
Prompted by a @imperial-poetry-prompts : alone not lonely
I was to travel
Beyond the stars,
I was to find my
Better half,
I was sold such lies
By demons,
From the creatures of
Lesser …
… knowing,
I was to … but never did …
My heart remains thus … true to
Being, and there and fore I say to you,
Begone or I will swallow;
The truth
…
& as far as that goes
As far as truth goes
I will say only this: there is no
Such thing; only stories & in
Them I believe
I was her blue eyed whore, her smack &
Bestest friend of all
/
She was my tart, home made from berries
Blue with warts
/
We were odd at best, peculiar no doubt
Kept up appearances and the lies for all
/
They never understood the reasons why,
Why the otherness and other world meant
More to us than dollars
/
Others might say we did alright,
Considering age and lack of milage
/
We were old souls in young bodies,
Pursuing purpose and meaningful hours,
Failing to grasp the path we followed
Only led to the bottomless pit of
Sorrows
I would wear Tardi’s hats and
Manara’s legs
In suspended animation
.
Growing up with comics for adults,
The raw and the violently brutal
Realisations taught me to
Remain young
.
I was lost in fantasy
Before I even started
Growing; before I even
Began living
.
I doubt there was ever a
Hope of surviving, a lost
Cause, naked bar the
Hat
