Expectation sublimation
Preparation to exaltation
Culmination in trepidation
Salutation to inundation
In a hyper fixation
On inevitable separation
Frustration time dilation
Stress-like inflammation
Useless information
Rushing vexation
Constant occupation
This is the last station
Heartbeat cessation
No more hesitation
Goodbye delegation
No more flagellation
Or false justification
The final occasion
Removed syndication
Expired registration
Retired devastation
Total obliteration
That last stanza hits hard. I think we’ve all been there, where your heart feels smashed to smithereens, totally unrecoverable.
I enjoyed the format of this poem as well, Will.
Thanks – It was more experimentation with language than necessarily a huge spill, though I drew from what I knew. But the rhythm and the words were my focus and I think it comes off pretty nicely. I just didn’t dare record it as I have no sense of musicality whatsoever.
I bet you could….
