Vacancy

*Jill's Wonderland Challenge*

Vacancy

In the middle of time is nowhere,
In that realm, I stagnate there.
Rest-stop aside deserted crossroads,
Worn landscape scenery erodes.

Notions forge residual sands,
Grains sift through wrung hands,
Fated nightmares take hold,
Phobias manifest as fears unfold.

Repetition an ambitious lost cause,
Tally all demons and flaws.
Each path to travel an option,
Neon flickers, proceed with caution.

Vacancy, in psychedelic motel,
Drippy faucet allotted hell.
Gas-gauge languishes on E,
Evaporated like sanity

Dreams crumble to silt,
Regret over sorrows spilt.
Pointed fingers at a reflection,
Yield judgmental rejection.

A speck, each moment alive,
Grueling habits survive.
Routines haunt a brain,
Raven mocks, β€œNevermore sane.”

Pounding within an hourglass,
Wayward nostalgia will pass.
Soon moments will shatter,
A journey will no longer matter
