Lovelessness
When did it come to the point where I felt nothing
Did I reach a crossroads
One that I never passed
Locked here to a point
Lagging times past
The fire and passion
Burned brighter than
The supernova of the sun
Long gone
Replaced by steady thoughts
Removed feelings
Business like musings
For the good of everything
Chances removed
Standard issue
Maintaining less vulnerability
Living life in a shell
Protected from
Dangerous swelling
Loss of more of everything
Who would have thought
I lost that loving feeling
That the well would dry up
It did
Leaving me complacent
Watch me keep it all in range
Stay to the course
No deviation
Trained monkey on a string
No more maiming and stabbing
Blood entrails
Mine to be had and witnessed
Instead here I am
Nice and bland
Safety in mind
Is it wrong to
Not live life
Like you are on fire
A desire burning bright inside
Withering complacency to a
Funeral pyre
Yet there is no loss
When you give not your all
Leaving everything to a formula
Equation to understand it all
You can’t fail
When you don’t take a chance
Allow things to build and blossom
Instead of planning a net
So nothing will apparently fail
You can’t fail
Or have you already failed
Because there is nothing there
