Screams of rage
as I sit silently
needing you
or someone very like
life going nowhere
in a headlong flight
where did I go wrong?
you were so perfect
now I long for escape
from all that I know
wanting loneliness
alone, blessedly alone
desiring companionship
or at least respect
time shall pass
as it does, always
doors open and shut
unheeded opportunities
from one, death beckons
promising sweet release
from others, new paths
promising nothing, but change
needing to stop, then gently
reaching and turning the knob…
