Monochrome.
By Dreamless
Bland and tasteless
As is food for the sick
So is the spirit dwelling in myself
Playing solitaire for eternity
While the second hand ticks,
tick, tick,
tick,
But a minute never passes
And yet on the outisde
Another day disappears
As the minutes melt to hours
And the clock crumbles away
I am shades of gray
A rainbow from white to black
Somewhere between lifeless
And life support
Stale and unchanging
I am suspended, it seems
In past routine
Liquor once hard to swallow
Now goes down like water
And quenches my thirst
For you

I hear faint whispers of loathing towards the monotonousness relationship an individual's mind can sometimes have with the uncaring and cruel progression of time. A timeless and impactful piece for sure. Well met, poet. Thank you.

The sense of the timelessness that exists within routines and demands finds a home in this work. Expertly expressed and worth a second read -- which it got from me. Very, very well done.

I know what you mean. Some hours are actually two hours, even though only one hour has passed. I like your expression of time...so slow, so fast. It'll probably get worse before it gets better but it will get better. Then shitty again, then get better from that. All we can hope is that the betters outnumber the worses in the end, or that we at least end our time during a better. Or perhaps it would be better to end our time because things are worse? Stop confusin' me, man! See what you did? Solid piece. Cheers.

I think therefore I am. I fade to black because my mind has blurred the lines of innocense and lies.

What to say... Hm. Life doesn't suck just the persons in it. And where the hell is my shot? ...not that I'd drink it, but that's besides the point. You have an knack for recreating your raw emotion back into your pieces. When I read this, I felt like it was me who was spewing these words. - Applauds
