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
