Stuck

Whether there or there 
      I no longer care 
       my thoughts linger 
     my eyes continue to stare
      my heart cries 
       a terrible tune 
     of unrequited love 
     she was put to sleep
        with no pillow 
           you buffoons

            I have won 
                but lost 
             I am angry 
          tears drench my 
         imaginary blanket
          I feel forsaken 
        I'd rather be emotionless 
                  Naked
     than fully clothed in this doom 

   We all experience endings 
   but how about never ending beginnings? 
    Sounds kind of like purgatory 
   I'm still awaiting my court and jury
     but the laywers never come 
      and I remain stuck in this alternate  
                  universe 
             
                    Unsatisfied 
                    Untouched 
                   And longing for 
                        her
