Excellence Award in the 'Word Zone 2016' competition

Uncertainty engulfed my thoughts.
Cold as ice.
Dark as night.
Yet you expressed it as art.

I don’t care if you think it’s beautiful.
I don’t care if you think it’s unique.
I wish you could be more thoughtful,
About the curse that makes my life so bleak.

Always posting on your blog,
‘There for you, my friend,’
‘We can get through this together,’
‘This doesn't have to be the end.’

Those ignorant ‘reassurances’ do nothing but make me feel worse.
I don’t care if you say you want to ‘Make it Work.’
I wish you could just show more than admiration.
I wish you could just be my salvation.
