"Grating"

I’m in a black hole

I can’t see the way out

I’m flailing

Searching for something,

Someone

To rescue me

Then again

Maybe not

It’s easier to stop

Cease to exist

Because I matter

To no one

Make a mockery

Of true friendship

Take my heart

Grate it to slivers

It’s easier

Than pretending

This person I see

Reflecting back

Is worth

Anything
