Nailed

Liam Spencer

“You’ll make it work.
You’re as tough as nails.”
She complimented
With the sound of a smile.

She doesn’t recognize
The long nights and cheap beers
The lonely meals
The tears for life passing by,
Sidelined and recovering
From yet another surgery
From yet another work injury.

The poverties and fears
Of sleeping on concrete
Yet again.

The sleeping on the couch
To fool oneself
Into feeling like
There’s a someone
Sleeping beside them.

The longings and whinings
The turning to distractions
In order to make it
Through yet another
Day of nothing.

The being nailed
Into a whole life
Of nothings.
