Meaninglessness

I miss you

Almost as much as I miss me

***

It’s hard to use the washed out meaninglessness of words

To try to fill the vacuum of numb

They lay dull

Like old yellow paint

Without warmth and scarce able to fill their purpose

Faded

Everything seems lost in the fading

But not to gray

No

But rather to the invisibility of pointlessness

***

 Take away the heart that beats and how does one continue to live and breath

I’m Pavlov’s dog

I respond reflexively to the alarm clock

The traffic light

And the time clock

But I just wander through my day

Not even a passenger on this ride called life

Just a voyeur

If one can be so and be passionlessly so

***

How does one go from being everything

To, “Sorry, you’re not worth the time”

Life is simply the distance between

“I love you, babe”

And

“What do you want now?”

** *

 The only question remaining is

Is there life after death

I don’t know

One has to care to truly dream

And I am so cocooned in the lethargy of numb

Listening to the echoes of

“Why?”

It’s hard to use the washed out meaninglessness of words
