The Basement

   

  

“The Basement”

  

I went down,

To get my trash bags,

It hits me like a boulder,

Everything lags.

  

The basement,

Is so empty,

Very much,

Like me.

 

It is so hard to embrace.

Yet I hide it.

Any time,

Upon my face.

 

Right now, I,

I am not at my best.

I am now an orphan,

Have I passed the test?

 

Have I fallen too far?

Did I even try?

It all happened so fast.

In the deep of me,

I know nothing ever lasts.

 

The basement,

Is so empty,

Very much,

Like me.
