No Feelings

The clouds hang heavy,
a dark reflection of my loneliness,
intermittently dropping tears 
to mingle with the river
of my indecision.

The sky peeks its
shiny blue face out,
a promise that things
will be ok,
but who can take such a promise
to heart?

Too many nights
spent wishing on broken stars,
resulting in too many
wishes coming half true,
too many obstacles
waiting to snuff out 
the light of love.

I’m drowning in 
this bizarre place,
barren of emotions.

Be a darling,
Throw me a life saver?
