NO SIGNAL AND LOW BATTERY

NO SIGNAL AND LOW BATTERY

A Poem by Count Humilus
"

silence of me

"

 Big hallways and small rooms

Shallow tombs

Buried in a bad memory

Cold blankets

This generation is the canary in the mine shaft

This room is smaller

There is less to notice

Less to detest even

I glue a mirror back together

I notice a girl getting on the bus

I wonder where she goes at night

When all is quiet

When all is loud

When she has her space

When she needs escape

Why was she born?

Why was I blind?

Why didn’t I let dead moments lie?

The sun might never leave

The leaves might always fall

But I won’t be here for her

Or you after all

Exponential selfishness as we grow

As we strive

Aspire

Like Kanye West said,

“…you’re either getting laid or paid while the other is getting away…”

A girl getting a bus and i wonder where she goes
she nneds space,escape,why was she borne why was i blind
the sun will never leave,leaves always fall
but i wont be here for her or you after all
stories of a life,one ends and one starts
but there is always be the sun
but i will not be here for her..
bit dark write ,so deep ,so thoughtful,bit sad
but as always ..lovely write..
