A sad, sad poem
Write a poem encapsulating (or using) the line "loneliness is colder than the way she treats me in the dark"

Visitant

How tormented am I to see her in my dreams, yet not hold her close to my heart and know that she is indeed real. Why she passes behind my eyes as I drift between the two realms, I already know; why she never appears in the morning light... this too, I already know.

How are you?

I’m okay...

Perhaps I am good

It’s just that

The past...

It haunts me

It crawls up every nook on my body

Crawling all over tainting my already tainted skin

The layers build-up

Up, up but not away

Ugh I feel so filthy

All the soap and scalding water won’t ever wash it away

I want to rip off my skin

Gouge my flesh

But It never ends

I remember all the weeping

All the dripping blood

Pools of blood and tears

I remember it all, everything, every single second

The colors...

The haunting azure, the soul-stirring crimson, and the obsidian which made me reminisce of my time in the black hole

The flavors...

The deadly sweet nectar to the falsely comforting bitter coffee

The lovely melancholy scenery

I relive the moments over and over again

While I yearn for it all to end

Perhaps I should just end it myself

I’m tired of existing

I’m tired of me

Myself

All I want is nothingness

The pure comfort of nothing

Nothing

Is that too much to ask for?

Even with all this perhaps I still am good

Thank you for asking

Lament Or Celebrate The Inherent Insatiability Of Existence (30 Words Or Less)
Yep, that's what I said: 30 words or less. Exciting, right? Isn't it simply better to be restricted? To have rules to follow or even to break. After all, to accomplish something by limited means is a far more agreeable feat than to face the queasy expanse of a blank slate, is it not?

Nothing Rhymes Well With Want.

Have you there no itch to flaunt?

Feeling sated? Nonchalant?...

Welcome boredom’s endless taunt.

To want for naught is still to want.

(note: scratch out lines one through four)
