Killing Time : Sad Poetry

written by Poet : Shelly Wiseberg


Empty and disconnected

alone in confinement

reclusive in thinking

loner in a small building

cut off from society

living in your own world.

Uncomfortable in your own skin

unshaven and haggard

many nights not slept

trash in corners

dirt stained walls

piled up dishes

of unfulfilled wishes and dreams

and hopeless dreams.

Drinking beer listening to old tunes

on the radio

cigarette burns butted out

on worn out furniture

friendless , no family ties

dog your best friend

never letting you down

wandering the city streets

sitting in coffee shops until dawn

having conversations with yourself

behind a newspaper killing time.
