A Cry In the Dark

A Poem by: Tim Bryant
___________________


Fluid pours out, a weep begins
Sadness follows wretched morning
Tones of acid, hell wells within!

Frayed endings a shattered life sins
Mountains walk between us scorning
Fluid pours out, a weep begins

Beyond the grave, they feel no winds
She rests there tasting in mourning
Tones of acid, hell wells within!

All the while, twiddling thumbs ends
With hate of feelings, no warning,
Fluid pours out, a weep begins

The throes of pain a reminder grins
In reflection, drinking forlorn
Tones of acid, hell wells within!

Bubbling up, sound of cry lends
To the feeling of rage forming,
Fluid pours out, a weep begins,
Tones of acid, hell wells within!
