when the world you want
fades away
fantasies of what could have been
maybe should have been
continue to plague your mind
withdrawing internally
from that which wasn’t attained
it digs at your essence
desires just sharp reminders that you failed
weave in and out of your mind
everything feels hollow
surrounded by emptiness
your head, heart, and your soul buried under sand
drifting further away from reality
you are alone with your madness
