Existential Dread Ellipsis

Existential Dread Ellipsis

A Poem by DecentlyOkayWriter

. . .

Don't stay awake for too long, don't go to bed,
 I'll make a cup of coffee for your head- get you up n' going, out of bed.
                                                                   -deathbed


i don't want to go to bed
hitting the refresh button with existential dread
there goes your typing symbol, an ellipsis up, down, up, down.
over, and over, and over. we're playing this stupid game again-
spin the roulette and decide what mood you'll land
i know you've got problems, i do too
but you have to understand, it's not all about you
i've cried without you, i've cried for you, but never because of you
they always say there's a first for everything
i would prefer if this is the last..
it's been a few minutes, that ellipsis still flickers-
that existential dread still lingers
you distract me from me
soon i fell inside a hole i couldn't see
maybe if i scream you'll help me out-?
especially if i cower and plead
I dug the hole-
you dug the hole 
we dug the whole freaking hole
let's see if we can pull me out of my mind
i'll bet you a dollar you won't try
