The In Between

I swear

you’re a bottomless pit

because I’ve been in

a constant

state of falling,

and I’ve gotten nowhere.

Is this it?

Suspended in air,

do you even notice

me there—

in that place in between

trying harder

and giving up,

amidst the abyss

of all your damages.

Again and again,

monotonous—

wash it away

with drinks.

Bottoms up.
