useless poem
when i’ve caved
and let loose the prize whose value is only when it is unrealized
the ecstasy is brief
15 seconds according to well studied data
and i am robbed of tomorrow’s demise
and ashamed of not being able to withhold
while need is erased
and prolactin is freed
the sizzle is gone
and my ego’s been frayed
i can no longer brag
or feel persistent ache
and i wonder what’s next
but to wait and regenerate
i end up quite sad
having been so bad
my thoughts become simple
on pause due to a dribble
im sorry ive fallen
from the noose of need
and now all is quiet
and the peace i find boring
this silence so vacant and absent of charge
ions do wander
looking for hormones to latch their muted energy upon
but i am useless till they do
like these rote words on a string
wasting your eyeballs precious time
my voice expressing a quiet as are my thwarted desires
for who needs to hear
from a satiated being
what good will come of fleeting pleasantry
without all the sparks
of pushing or shoving
what good can come from relief that breeds sadness
when never’s impaled
with the greed of release
im uninteresting and fade
into a backlash of sad
and let loose the prize whose value is only when it is unrealized
the ecstasy is brief
15 seconds according to well studied data
and i am robbed of tomorrow’s demise
and ashamed of not being able to withhold
while need is erased
and prolactin is freed
the sizzle is gone
and my ego’s been frayed
i can no longer brag
or feel persistent ache
and i wonder what’s next
but to wait and regenerate
i end up quite sad
having been so bad
my thoughts become simple
on pause due to a dribble
im sorry ive fallen
