Lament of My Life

Am I not an empty shell? A crystal egg if you will, as I slowly swell... In my excrement's of love, Am I not a fetus freak? Abandoned by the love I seek, void full tears... Am I not a decaying embryo? If not your love be my foe, a sacrificial lamb... Forgive me for I not ponder at your empty words For they are daggers that indiscriminately wander, toward my heart... Oh such treachery, such calamity...I am defecating in my shell So full of apathy my love, as you chain up my soul... Be not thy name of thy bride be sorrow, For I not see such tomorrows in the skies above... Am I not a speck of dust? Floating aimlessly in the cyclone of love, For I land on the crust, of wasted years... Am I not a contorted thought? A tasty morsel left to rot for the vultures... Am I not buried in a shallow grave? Where corpses crave love again... Is not my heart a waking wound? For it be marooned on the island of Lost Souls Such tidal waves of Destruction... Soon my heart shall cease to function, for I be not in love, no more. March.08.2016 For Contest Lament Of My Life

Great write, many deep lines that don't suffer fools, I love the downward spiral, to the killer last line, it bled out with the right amount of melancholy...well done, ...
