Nothing Beautiful

by Olivia Weinkein

i sit in silence notice something
missing look down at my fingers
have lost yet another ring

and you

somewhere between yesterday
and the night that would not allow
me to sleep and today today is
nothing new nothing

beautiful

i wanted to wait for the right
moment to claim everything
wanted to find something worth
claiming wanted to transform so
unusual nothing new nothing

beautiful

watching the window for a sign
of life for a sign and everything
isn't alright everything is used
to this fighting with myself to
keep from fighting with myself
that i'm okay i'm fine this

lost

i wasn't lonely for a short time
until i turned around didn't want to
walk away didn't want to had
something had something

i sit in silence notice something
missing look down at my fingers
have lost yet another ring

and you

in the snow in the cold it's
been a long day nothing
unusual nothing new & nothing

beautiful.

Love the repetition, makes the sadness linger throughout.
