Bliss

Alone
feeling forsaken
and numb
Holding on
waiting in vain
for no one

Wishing, like that character in the story,
for "something else,
not this" -
but being unable to create
another reality
where I might find peace

Life this way
the future like this
is such a painful sight,
it makes me long for that fatal kiss
despite the beauty out there,
despite what might have been
what I might miss

Mortality at last
becomes a bliss.
