this
solitude
aches
as it
slowly
hollows
me out

emptiness
and
exhausion
sharesimilar
traits
and i worry
i will collapse
inonmyselfas
i sleep

there
is no
escape
from
the ruins
of one’s own
mind
no running
from
yourself

just these
evenings where
thereisnothing
but loneliness
thumping loudly
inside your
chest
and no choice
but to try and
sleep long enough
it loses interest
