Those Three Dots...

Blinking lights.. teasing me

My mind wandering free

It pictures all of the outcomes

A well of negativity

the only way is down

even before the words are shown

could I join them in the void of emptiness?

take away this chest crushing heaviness

Then the message I am about to receive

Would be unable to knock the wind from me

Push me to my knees

Make my tears flow free

 

Oh, fuck it

The three dots are back

A constant anxiety attack

They could spell disaster

I'm already falling faster

than the speed of light

I broke the sound barrier a long way back

Now I'm about to hit the ground with a splat

Because those three dots can never

carry news that's good

They only offer a brief respite

from the oncoming flood

 

Those three dots

Will they ever stop

Compose themselves into a sentence

A paragraph

A page of prose

Some stage notes

Or are they forever to taunt

Haunting me with their constant cycle

A portent of an end

Of a broken heart or a last message sent

 

I give up

The dots, all three

Have taken me

I'm absorbed into their turning cycle

I’m now docile and ready to listen to any words

however hostile

I'll just put them on the hurt pile

I've stacked up over a long while

 

Those three dots

Torturing me

blinking

I can’t be

Happy?

What message awaits

Panic grates

Oh, wait a text appears

I open it, filled with fear

It's been forever it seems

'Fancy a coffee?' It beams

 

Thanks For Reading,

Peace And Love.
