Constant reminders of what you can't have Not all that different than the outside Yet it still drives you mad Same silly dominant rites But lust could cost you land

Once I swore it all off Then again I took risk Bless this place without cell phones Damn replaced consequence What once was easy gets honed Till the scale tips again

Not sure if I'll surrender But I'll try to resist They're two different problems But the same bloody fists Guilt, shame and solvents Can't tell the difference

Reluctant sigh, stoic patience There's no fooling the eyes Want attention then don't Clocks don't understand time What was wealth before gold And what love does it buy?

Still hesitant getting old Nature's cute warning signs

This one almost reads like a Sylvia Plath poem. Another great job. I'm impressed with this collection you've written over the last month and change (I'm assuming), as it reads like someone who is in a melancholy place.
