Deep Five

Estimated value of self is priceless

estimated value of depth is immeasurable

yet within this situation

my desire for tears

tears apart the layers ahead

at the bottom of the pile I lay

despite the thoughts of affection you say

Unfortunately your action leads to more despair

going deeper and deeper down

this dark space where your “feelings” for me dwell

this immense attraction is being drowned and buried

underground it goes

there is a lid at the top

the past, the obligation, the lack of discernment for struggle

the place I rest

is the place I reside

all the way under the rubble
