cold dark space

living with insecurity
living alone
in a room
sheltered only from
the warning
the warning of destruction
afraid
afraid of when the destruction may strike
afraid of the strength of the destruction
no warning can be seen
from this room
constantly preparing for the worst
too busy preparing to notice the room
for the room was once beautiful
but....
through negligence
it faded into a dull, lifeless setting
unnoticed.
