Diagnosis - lonely


Diagnosis-Lonely

Pressure pumped
Pop top
Vaccuum Seal bursts
Spraying spouts of thought / fears
The surface of the brain exposed
The cerebral contents boiling

Here above the standing stem
Lies the nexus of Neurosis
The free ranging ravaging fears
The nameless, faceless beasts
given to roam the memory unchecked.

Child with a jelly spoon
the concentrating councilor
seperates the symptoms slowly
seeking to understand and plum
the soundless depths
and then pronounce the 14 syllible diagnosis.

Thus, in grander terms best found in weighty texts
he presses and expresses on me
the single flawless fact I'm already facing.

My heart is broken
my mind is frozen
my fears are based
on the fearsome fact
that I have lost you.
