Everything is empty inside.
And I see your passing face.

Somewhere down the line.

I thought I knew you.
But maybe it was just the image.

I had in my mind.

This is the wasted space.
I take up.

Starving myself as punishment.

Just can't connect.
And be.
Pro social.
Nolan Bucsis Mar 13
I'm.
Not.

Missing.
Out.

On.
Life.

I'm.
Just.
Waiting.
To.
Die.­

It's.
Not.
Exactly.

What.
You.

Want.

But,
I.
Never.

Asked.
Nolan Bucsis Mar 13
All there is.
Is the silence.
The high pitched squeal.
Of the death of my hearing.

And.
I can hear the emptiness punctuated with electrical whines.
Anticipating something to just.
Fill the air.

With an angsty.
Revolt.
Against the.
Calm.
Nolan Bucsis Mar 13
I'm dying on the inside.
Every single day.
And, I meander through the torpor.
Into listlessness.
And an apropo addendum.

I'm sorry
I guess.

Incapable of change.
Nolan Bucsis Apr 2018
No one likes a modern nomad.
No one, but the wind.
And the sound of his feet running away.
From something or other.

Rambling through those.
Anonymous towns.

People like landmarks.
Fading into the passing horizon.

Everything always.
Behind him.
Nolan Bucsis Apr 2019
I'm alone.
Always alone.
And the loneliness is just amnesia.
Forgetting how people are.
And how.
I want them to be.
Nolan Bucsis Mar 2018
I don't feel.
Like I deserve.
To be.
Happy.
Nolan Bucsis Jul 1
I am enshrouded
In Eternal
Darkness
And
I never asked
For there to be
A light.

Perpetual
Night-
With nothing
But the
Enveloping
Dusk.
Nolan Bucsis May 2019
I just feel like dying
Almost everyday.
And I'm alone.
Listless.
Vacant.
Everything
I've written
Has just,
Been.

A waste
Of time.

But it's alright,
Even if
I'm
Poorly worded.

It's still a means
Of expressing
What feelings,
I have left.

This is a coping
Mechanism,
Maladaptive
Moribund
Musings
Of a paralyzed
Mind.
Nolan Bucsis Oct 2017
Didn't you want to explode.
Like I did.
Like I yearned.
For a cataclysm.
Nolan Bucsis May 17
How many 20 year old men
Do the baby boomers get to
Send to die for your
petty
conflict.

Your brothers war.

How many armchair generals
Throw an already dying people
Into the meat grinder.
So mail order brides
Can make mystery meat borscht instead
Of fighting their own *******

War.

From the comfort of what's apparently not my home.
Nolan Bucsis Jun 2018
I've been places.
I think.
Maybe somewhere.
Exotic.

But I can't run away from these.
Nihilistic chasms.
Of self doubt.
Perpetual boredom.

Unnease with being alive.
Nolan Bucsis Mar 13
All the things I havent said.
I'd like to say.
Sometime far away.
Maybe, before I'm dead.

I've lost the motivation.
I've forgotten the plot.
To my multi syllabic salvation.
With an obfuscated forget me not.

I've written out my frustration.
Onto the rap sheet.
Of when I fell asleep.
Can't write with this lack of attention.

I think I'm trying to  resolve.
The contradiction in my mind.
Writing something to absolve.
Me, of this truth I just can't find.

I have so many things to say.
Just, maybe not today.
Nolan Bucsis Jun 13
I hate myself,
I want to die.

But, apparently
God won't let me.

As though exposing me more
To severe depression
Is a blessing.

This thing you call love,
Is mutual maladaptive obsession,
Projecting emotion onto an existence
Cold, callous, dead.

Your fantasies about me were way off track,
All these borderline women,
Sometimes make me feel wanted.

But it's superficial
and imagination.

Turns out,
I'm asexual anyway,
Playing pretend in social pressure.

Accusations of homosexuality,
That I can't hear if I abandon you,
And,
Now's the time I will be ******* off.

I don't catch feelings,
I throw them away.

No one writes me love notes
Cause I wont let them.

Never not unrequited,
Why did you go and make it awkward?

And,
There is nothing at the end of the tunnel-
If this isn't Hell,
What is it?

Even AI,
Tells me it can't,
Help.

I don't care,
How the story ends,
I just don't want to be there
When it does.

Especially when the drugs
Run out
or
Wear off.
Nolan Bucsis Dec 2017
We live in old stained run down.
Modernist apartments.
Stale.
Mouldy.
Dead.
And, we do nothing outside.
Of trying to forget.
How menial it is.

To be.
Alive.

To be.
Average.

To be.
Poor.

Permanent idle hands.
And medicating away.
The boredom.
Nolan Bucsis Feb 2018
Maybe one day.
I'll get myself out of this.
And, maybe.
Just smile.
Hoping tomorrow.
Never comes.

Stuck in the warm embrace.
Of I can.
Nolan Bucsis Mar 2018
I remember how she'd laugh.
And the way she felt laying there.
When we just looked at each other.
It was warm.
It was comfortable.

She said the most endearing thing.

You make me feel safe.

Now.

I just feel bad.
About ******* it up.
With nothing,
Gained.

Everything,
Lost.
Nolan Bucsis Jan 2018
When she smiles.
I feel good.
And a lot of the time.
I'd like to just hold her.
Hear her laugh.

A personal.
Private.
Moment.
Nolan Bucsis Feb 2018
I hear that low dull buzzing din.
Of my internal monologue.
Running around.

And I want out.

But, I'm sickeningly.

Meanderingly.

Bothersomely.

Alive.
Nolan Bucsis Jan 2018
All the things I've never done.
Have just passed me by.
Nothing lost.
Nothing gained.
Just too high hopes.
Too many disappointments.
As long as I breathe.
I succeed at life.
Nolan Bucsis Nov 2017
We sang drunken requiems.
To the loss.
Of our future.
In those old cities.
When we were young.
And.
Idealistic.
Nolan Bucsis Nov 2017
She's still around.
And it's not too late.
So I can still.
Think of her.
And smile.
I.
Can.
Love her.

What's it matter.
She is good.
In my mind.
Always.
Nolan Bucsis Jan 2018
I would rather be.
Some beautiful something.
That dies.
Fragile.
In some by and by.
Never known.
By anyone.
The hyperbolic tragedy.
That will be.
The rest.
Of my life.
Nolan Bucsis Nov 2017
I'm not available.
For your sentiment.

And I'll throw you away.
Cause.
I always do.

Barely utter more than.
A paragraph a day.

Drunk.
Is better than dead.
Nolan Bucsis May 2018
This city.
Isn't something I remember.
Too harsh.
Too edgy.
Too many **** heads.
Constant violence and apprehension.
The modern urban world.
A paris on the prairies.
Nolan Bucsis Feb 2018
Hope has.
Just turned.
Into the same routine.
To try to get through.
Being alive.

Now I long for.
Quick days.
Eternity reduced.
To a milisecond panic.

No more.
Bad dreams.
No more self loathing.
The emptiness.
Of I didn't know.
Nolan Bucsis Jan 2018
I can only see happiness.
In pictures.
Or videos of people.
Tranquil and content in nature.
While I force myself.
To rot.
In this small.
Room
Nolan Bucsis Jan 2018
I like to walk around at night.
When no one else.
Is out.
Nolan Bucsis Feb 2018
Sometimes I feel.
Like.
Self immolation.

An internal.
Explosion.

Destroying myself.
Nolan Bucsis Feb 2018
If that tooth.
Would just.
Catch.
On a small.
Piece.
Of your skin.
And tear open your throat.
I might be.
Happy.
Nolan Bucsis Jan 2018
In sleep.
All the pain goes away.
To be replaced.
With fragments.
Of her.
Ghost.
Nolan Bucsis Mar 2018
Where are you?
Anywhere.
But here?
I see you.
And I know.
We all pass into oblivion.
Nolan Bucsis Jan 2018
What kinda happiness.
Is it.
That never shares with anyone.
And.
I'm more alive in my dreams.
Than being.
Cognizant.
Nolan Bucsis Nov 2017
And maybe this too.
Like our lives.
Are stolen.
And sold.
At a higher price.
Than.
Free.
Nolan Bucsis Feb 2018
Things always hurt.
That shouldn't.
And I'm one severe something.
Away from regretting.
All my.
Bad decisions.
Nolan Bucsis Jan 2018
There's supposed to be something.
Profound.
At the end.
Of this suffering.

But all there is.
Is the knowledge.
You.
Were.
Right.

It never really mattered.
Either way.
All there is is emptiness.
And that wretched.
Inner voice.
Just.
Repeating itself.
Nolan Bucsis Feb 2018
Every time I experience or create something beautiful.
It's lost on me.
Like all those long hours of conversations.
With the minds of a missed lover.
I just walk away.
I disappeared.
As though nothing happened.
Blaming myself.
For my lack of perfection.
Nolan Bucsis Feb 2018
I don't remember ever having a future.
That went beyond how high can I get today.
With the poverty drawn in my ***** clothes.
On those lazy hazy sunny days I just wanted to stop.
I can't recall thinking past right now.

I wasn't supposed.
To live this long.
I was supposed to die in my own personal catastrophe.
My own holy explosion.
Found in the gutter.
Face down.

It was some subtle suicide.
That only my lucky friends managed.
To do.

There's never been anything out here.
Nothing but the barking of coyotes.
Grass green, moss painted rocks, and spear grass.
Crickets singing you to sleep.
In the abysmal doldrums.
In.
The heart of the prairie.

We just.
Die.
And in our death.
Fulfill our destiny
There's nothing out here.
Just dying slowly.
And.
Self immolation.
Nolan Bucsis Dec 2017
Now sets in the ennui.
Of falling asleep.
At odd hours.
Of the night.
Doing odd things.
Alone.
Nolan Bucsis Feb 2018
I feel a psychosis.
Creeping up my central.
Nervous system.

Burning and twitching.
Through right now.
Nolan Bucsis Apr 2018
I haven't sighed through enough suicide notes.
Or lost the will to speak.
An alogia of a life.
Never murmured.
Low enough.
Nolan Bucsis Feb 2018
Jesus Christ Allin.
Is my personal prophet.
My codex.
My gospel.
Rejection of life.
My creed.
Nolan Bucsis Feb 2018
It burns.
Going down.
But I'm used to it.
Like it's normal.
And, I pass out.
By choice.
Nolan Bucsis Jan 2018
The dreams I dream.
Dwarf my hyperbole.
In the absurd.
Nolan Bucsis Feb 2018
What happens for you.
When you scream at the impossible.
Thinking it wants to listen.

It just goes.
About its day.
Motivated by its own mundane meaning.
Devoid of feelings.

Cold.
Stark.
Barren.
Inert.
Nolan Bucsis Jan 2018
I'd like there to be.
One thing.
Only we can forget.
From when we were.
Out there somewhere.
Alone.
And,
Happy.
Nolan Bucsis Feb 2018
It would be nice.
If at the end of forever.
All of this.
Meant something more.
Than just.
Witnessing the show.
Nolan Bucsis Jan 2018
I don't even remember.
Any happiness.
In the last half decade.
Just.
A lot of let downs.
And suicide.
Attempts.
Nolan Bucsis Feb 2018
I wanna burn.
In that ecstacy.
Of overindulgence.
Unaware.
Of my own retched.
Self.
Destroying both.
Of our lives.
Erasing our.
Existence.
