Igloo of Nothingness

The clocks been stuck at

Just past 2am. I’ve been

Staring at it like it

Wants to kill me if I

Close my eyes.

Is the clock actually broken?

Or just another alcohol induced

Hallucination? Also, I haven’t

Slept in 96 hours, I bet that doesn’t

Help. Did I mention it’s 2am?

I reach over and the other

Side of the bed is cold and

Empty. My dementia feels like

An Igloo. Protective, yet lonely.

The clock still hasn’t moved

No matter how hard I try to will it.

I killed my brain cells,

Lost in time, oh, look at that.

It’s 2am.
