You should tie me down:
It’s the least you could do.
Instead, you leave me to wander around
Bleary-eyed,
Groping,
Blindly reaching out for anything,
Anything at all,
But finding nothing,
Nothing at all.
The emptiness greets my fingertips eagerly.
I doubt you have even noticed that I am dying.
Literally.
Look at me,
Stumbling around town.
How humiliating!
Suddenly I drop
In a heap on the ground
Crumpled and small.
I’ve outdone myself this time.
What a scene!
Typical.

I've outdone myself and done it again.
I've been stumbling around town.
I've been dying, faster than most of those around me.
I've had no one notice, and I've had everyone notice, and I think it's more pleasant for me to have no one notice...
That's probably just me...and it's good to have someone notice after a time...
Anyway, very very well done, again, I think.
