Tall Black Armchair
Feb 23, 2021

The woman will
sit eternally still,
prim and fair,
in the tall black armchair.
From her description,
she will be the one
you will never have.
You seem a bit disappointed.
Perhaps excessive living weighs.
No matter what anyone says -
Their words rip out your imagination -
Lulling your mind into captive sedation.
It matters not where you’ve been,
Knowing we will not live.
