Melancholy Moment

I'm crushed you've cast away priceless pearls for fool's gold. My heavy heart in sadness sinks anchored down, a strangle hold. I mourn your fall, your shining star has crashed, my hopes have died. Distraught your vision is so marred a punching blow, I suffocate inside. I trip over my gilded dream for you falling into a well of disrepair a pit of anguish fills my soul stuck in a muck of cold despair. I drift through a miry bog a witness to your foolish ways and you, unfit to see or change this dreary, disappointing day. Written on 10/29/2015

Well done, Laura, love the way each verse droops down at the end , just like disappointment does. Now, go and eat some chocolate. Well done, Viv x
