Heartbroken
Devastated
Eternity faded
Eliminated
Too many words unstated
Internally berating procrastination
Scrambling for answers
Too many lost chances
Untrue indifference
Apathy disintegrating
When the clock strikes midnight
Whatever happiness is
This isn’t it
Nothing left to be fixed
Resigned
It’s fine
Fighting off tears
Haunted by fears
Ringing ears
Searching for a lost lifeline
Silently
Again
Poems of Pandemic Days by Alice Curley
