Loneliness Grows - Genevieve Artadi

Promise

Pressure

Killed the pleasure

Judged by gesture

Love’s untreasured

Loneliness grows

Strangles the rose

Feeds on weakness

Try to cheat this

Manic

Frantic

Groundless

Panicked

All this

Reaching

Helping

Nothing

Cannot find a way around it

Cannot leave it how I found it

Madness

Madness

I am nowhere

Ask it

Will it

Fuck it

Kill it

No one knows ‘cos

No one sees it

Empty feeling

Getting so loud

Been a shadow

For a while now

Careless

Crazy

Stupid

Hazy

Love looks ugly

To me lately

Cannot wrap my head around it

Cannot go back where I found it

Madness

Madness

I am nowhere

Time to admit that I’m out of control

Time to own up to the truth that I know

The only one who can save me

Is me
