nemesis of an ode

alone again.

confined to this square.

weeping inaudibly, on this stained, red bed.

shrinking in an alienation that clings to my heart like static.

reaping the unforgivable harsh and bitter fruits,

of the cold and untrusting seeds i have sewn.

i have starved my love,

and it has forsaken me.

leaving only a sour, acid emotion in the back of my throat.

and no,

i can't hold my breath forever.

when i release,

my prodigal past will catch up with my estranged future,

limiting my inessential present to its own devices.

i have starved my love,

and in return,

my love has abandon me.

alone again,

shivering in an unwanted degree of separation.

i attempt to nurture my love.

but my love no longer believes in me.
