White Tiles

Sitting here
with my old friend.
 

Silence, as I speak
soundless words of sorrow.<br>
 

Misery loves company
they say.
 

I provide her with all I have
yet still,
 

she demands more
than I can produce.
 

And so as this hour passes,
I cry out silent whispers
 

to the air
which echos her desire for more.

 

 

[Another bathroom experience. There is nothing quite so depressing as white tiles, stretching out as far as the eye can see. A poem on misery and the immense suffering life seems to heap on the human spirit. See 'A familiar tale' .]
