the world

i don’t remember
the world feeling quite so fragile
the shakiness of every spin
the doom
the gloom
the anxiety of every room
the distorted faces
of miserable people
why have our lives
become a living tomb
the human ruin
broken hearts
and empty lives
that never seem to arrive
a dying planet
spining blue and green
against eternity
a garden
a snake
a flower
a bloom
love becomes hate
time ticks
the slow motion kill
sadly for us
time will not wait
when our moment goes still
