another day
another chance
to wallow
in this hollow
fetid shell
another dance
amid the fallout
of this self
constructed hell
forever burdened
by this curse
immersed in faded
aquarelle
ever is this
burgeoning dearth
fated
until i am
felled
Max, or Not 
I like the rhyme, all of it. The regular, irregular, and internal schemes dancing together in this piece. Does everyone live in a self-constructed hell? Love the universality of that line. :)

A sad poem, full of loneliness and despair … but some beautiful imagery. I love the phrase ‘immersed in faded aquarelle’. Aquarelle isn’t a word I’ve heard much outside of artistic circles.

this is achingly sad
feels like drifting
like falling
like tumbling
iridescent tear drops
well up in my eyes
at both your pain
remember
that other hearts
are able to hold
you afloat
when you do not
feel
strong enough
to hold yourself
we may sometimes feel this
fragile
but i know that we hold
surprising tensile strength
dearest friends

It would appear that we are both doom driven at this place and time. My heart is with you. I must believe (sometimes ‘belief’ is all there is) that this dusk will pass, allowing us both to venture out into the light of a new spiritual renaissance. You have my love, dear friend.

I couldn’t ask for better company at such a dark time. In fact, I write this having just awoken from a dream in which you and I had freshly left Vegas torn asunder lol. Granted, we had run into a bit of a pickle trying to make our way back home, having garnered the ire of an irate drug dealer, but such is life… Or was it dreams… who can say? All I know is I awoke right before anything unpleasant befell us lol. Ii love you mister. I hope things get better for us both so that we may one day tear us up some real world debauchery <3
