I'M CUT OFF

...

By T. LichtPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

They don't realize they're playing with my nerves

taking them apart like tangled phone wires

thinking they'll get it to work... they're so wrong

-

They don't realize there's no more connection

play with the dead wires as long as you want

nothing will ever work again... I'm cut off...

-

They don't realize, I've been dangling too long

I've been twisted too many times... play with my nerves

their dead ends... I'm cut off... There's no connection..

-

keep playing... it doesn't even hurt

sad poetry
