I’M STILL HERE

Graphic by Alex Ivashenko

more midnights than i would care to admit
i’ll jump into my phone: the bottomless pit
no calls, no texts, not a single dm
do i even fucking matter to them?

embracing, bracing for Dark and his charms
a soliloquy in solitude’s arms
sinking in the minute, sunk by the hour
imprisoned, guarded by his watch tower.

i can’t do this alone but i don’t have a friend—
just a pissed disposition and sadness to spend—
i’ll drink to get drunk, throw up, drink again
i’m still here waiting and waiting for when. 

a follow request, of course I accepted.
i’m fucking alone in a world so connected.
