life goes on (unfortunately)
scattered and torn about
like feathers lunged into the air
I apathetically watch them float to the ground
in the distance children are heard
yapping and giggling
unaware of the evils lurking around them
I look around the neighborhood
to the left…
then to the right…
and see nothing but life
an entity that has left my soul
the sun warms the earth
but leaves me cold
flowers aromatize the air
but make me sneeze with allergies
the breeze brings oxygen to our noses
but I feel as though I'm suffocating
as days go by and it's all the same
this burden of emptiness still remains
and just as I sit down on the grass that cuts my skin
a woman comes up to me to say,
"Would you please hold my dog as I tie my shoe?"
not even human contact can uplift my spirit
she thanks me and goes on with her life…
never to see again…
and I sit back down…
and watch life go on without me
