Imprisoned in darkness

By society’s cold, dead heart.

Yearning to be free, 

to be loved; 

to find peace and happiness,

and the warmth of a summer’s beach.

Come hither heather through the layers of fog & ash while clouds pewter & pebble with each charcoaled shadow’s overpass as graphite slates unto an anchored mass. Who will next join me on a potentially romantic journey as I lay here pondering on Cupid’s gurney— Do I really have any real romantic inclinations or is my life just riddled with social replication? Because… I’ve had many different relationships I’ve sort of explored but for most I’ve failed to pull the ripcord of “what more?
