endless cycle

Lips, fingers, toes,
Flicking through prose,
Breathe, inhale, push,
Ending with Woosh,
Lips, fingers, toes,
Get rather cold,
Ends, hearts, head pain,
Strikes, hits, again,
Bite lip, not good,
Lipsalve, as should,
Bite lip, repeat
It looks discrete,

Smile, it’s fine
Laugh, in time,
Hot, in sheets,
Think, in morn,
Ah, the dawn,

Breakfast
Must dash
Booked cab
Been fab
Again?

Nah.

Texts more,
ignore
Annoyed
Avoid
see there,
don’t care,

Bumped into
Run into,
Hot air chat
Into that
Out of thought
Must have caught,
wind they’re here,
Two months passed,
in thin air,

Despaired alone
Keys, wallet, phone,
Out once again,
Interest, drink, name,
Nerves, sweat, hot room,
Lips fingers, toes.
