Left alone to wonder if
Everyone has given up.
Affirmed to be acosted.
Veritas is veritably voided.
Ease over exposition; voice
Voraciously vaporized.
Affixed to a succubus system
Enveloped by enshrined fear.
Love laments—love laments.

Ohhh, doh! Ol' Popeye' not interested in succubuses - or succubi (plural?)! He's too busy........ don't finish that! lol.
Orchi, trvst me… I am absolvtely not finishing that sentence…Popeyevs Glvg Maximvs Solvs has enovgh glvgging scandals withovt adding a svccubvs to the mix. 🐛🌫️⚪🙏 🤣
We have vays of making you talk absolvtely Popeye. On second thoughts, don't talk - it's gross! lol.
😂
Apology - if needed - that I don't tend to write on 'dark' themes. Erm, I tried writing in the dark, but couldn't see a thing! lol.
Orchi, that made me laugh…writing in the dark never works… the poem bites back before you even find the page. LOL! And, yes, I know, I know...turn the damn lights on! LOL! 🕳️👁️🗨️💢🙏
Brilliant work. Congrats, my friend.
Thank you on both accounts, Thomas! Much appreciated! 🕳️👁️🗨️💢🙏
Alliteration takes the crown here. A poem of darker issues where one is sucked dry of courage and love. The one portion reminded me of V for vendeta with all the v's being used. Well done my friend
My friend, the alliteration, the drain, the system that affixes and erodes… you named the core of it clean… thank you for seeing what sits under the words. And rock on regarding the V for Vendetta reference. Neat… and I see it now that you mention it. 🕳️👁️🗨️💢🙏
You are most welcome my friend
Your poem explores feelings of despair, isolation, and the futility of love in a world that appears devoid of truth and genuine connection. The speaker grapples with the notion that not only have they been abandoned in their struggles but also that love itself has become a source of lamentation.
My friend, the despair, the isolation, the cracked trust…you traced the inner movement of the poem with real care…I appreciate you leaning into it with me. 🕳️👁️🗨️💢🙏
