Unhappiness

Sometimes it is all-consuming
Others just the fly
Buzzing
Always at the ear but never really
there

Doesn't matter though
Same feeling
Just smaller
Less intense

It is not hate
not for life
more of a dull
pain

on for ever and ever

It is what fills your mind with doubt
It is why you didn't ask her out
It isn't the cause though
Merely a symptom

If you can't ask for help
You can't treat the symptom
If you can't treat the symptom
Then the cause is too far off
If it is too far gone
Then I may as well be too.
