apart

apart

kept apart

apart from everything

apart from everything else

there is this

rankling realisation 

that this

even this

my space

has been 

kept apart

i have been 

SCREAMING

into a void

that is

kept apart

my words 

have fallen 

into nothing

nowhere

kept apart

my pain

has gathered

insensible

in drifts

kept apart

away

elsewhere

otherwise

unseen

apart

&

apart

kept apart

even this

is/become

a cage
