The septic stench of desolation has followed me
into a quagmire of depression and self-loathing.
And scat-colored walls weep neglect
upon my fragmented soul.
Like a jigsaw puzzle missing a few pieces
my life’s now jumbled up and fallen into decay,
with no chance of completion.
And shadows occupy the empty spaces
as my broken heart harbors
dying dreams and shattered truths,
held together by the opiate of hope.
And like a tattered quilt of guilt,
my future's stitched together by a needle
threaded with tears of fear and regret.
