Maintenance

Maintenance,
So high,
Pressure,
So much,
Constant,
So pointless,
Maintenance.

Never a moment’s peace.
Never a moment’s rest.
Never a moment released,
Never a moment caressed.

Only repetition.

Maintenance,
Unrelenting,
Attention,
Unceasing,
Paranoia,
Dominating,
Maintenance

There she goes, a happy excuse,
There she goes, a sorry face,
There she goes, a relieved refuse,
There she goes, a futile chase.

Always insufficient.

Maintenance,
Mends mind,
Footsteps,
Follow futility,
Envy,
Endless effort,
Maintenance.

Locked door without a dweller,
Locked door without a key,
Locked door without endeavour,
Locked door without a dream.

Distorted disposition.
