A great tragedy
This life, marked by abandonment
Wounds only ever expanding
With curses of pain everlasting
A gaping hole
Where a love for life used to be
Thrown away and forgotten
In my time of need
Reinforced hopelessness
Negates a semblance of progress
I succumb to the temptations
Of downward descent
Numb to my surroundings
Not feeling, just merely existing
As the time passes by
Like it would without me
The throes of life, forever entwined
With a broken stare from heartsick eyes
Forms a layer of dust
Which obscures all contentment
No recollection
Of time without woe
Only the cold embrace of sorrow
Always and forever
Forevermore...
The throes of life, forever entwined
With the rust of an age old sorrow
Forms a layer of dust
Which obscures all contentment
