Closer to me

Clouds of hate drifting across my peripheral vision
and the stench of unfaithfulness fills my nostrils.
Disgust rears it’s ugly head out of the gutter to peer
about. With every breath taken I can taste the despair
in the air. The utter loneliness screaming incessantly
in my ears, over and over it assails the senses, no hope!
No hope! No hope! Constantly every fibre of my being
is being brutally attacked. Can this be a dream or am I
in some sort of twisted reality? Where do I go from here?
Here where life is full of meaningless emptiness. Every
twist and turn brings me closer to facing myself, and that
is my biggest fear, to find out what I am really like.
