and we all fall down

2009-02-11 | 1:44 a.m.

it crashed. all at once. in a free fall.

i had an overwhelming sense of hopelessness
and undeniable loneliness
that all that the people, booze and tv couldn't even dent.

there was a sudden and surprising ugliness in the world around me.
i saw a newly old landscape. dreary, heartless and used.
so unaffected by my cries because of its callousness.
it had already seen and lived this awful uncomely feeling.

and all around me people were not such a miracle and they were void of beauty.
dealing out cheap reparations and quick fixes for their dying sense of self.
and relationships! oh all of them. and all were clear as day.
a simple means to so desperately try and delay the inevitable loathing to come.

still falling prey.

and its a merciless cycle.
ends in perpetual exhaustion.

and disappointment.
