Nightly Squalor
Blurred dazed days
Concentration on incineration
Gazing at this glare
Over
And over
Repeatedly
Peace to be pissed on
Not a relief
Failed silence of slimey slaughter
After birth
Suffocation
After work
Slumbering simply
Soft features aglow
Woes: ... no.
Petal pink pout
Relaxed
So steady
Underneath I go
Tap tap to touch
Carry
Over curves
Care-
ssing
Nightly hours utilized
Tighten the gaps
Endlessly gaping
Growing
Missed times
Measured consistently
Constantly
Treasures unturned
Mourn the morning
Dread the day
Toss in the night
Never awake
Fight
Fraud
Fright

Hello there
Welcome to DU. I hope that you find all that you need while you are here with us :)
I really liked the flow of thoughts here. It reads very much like confessional poetry which is a style that I particularly enjoy. It feels raw and real and that’s always a quality I appreciate about poems.
That alliterative end works really well here.
Thank you for sharing this piece.
