A Pity-Pillow

A Pity-Pillow So Comfy Placed & Plumped Consolingly It Is Plush & Puffed With Feeling Sad and Sulking Sorrowfully Upon Hues of Blue & Charcoal-Lead I Heavily Lowered My Bowed Head As My Pity-Pillow's Pushy-Perfume Overwhelmed My Canopy Bed Silken-Sorrow, It Softly Embraced Trimmed In Night's Deep Shadow-Lace My Pity-Pillow Took Teardrops' Taste & Swallowed & Soaked - Every Toss-Turn-Trace Oh, Pity-Pillow, Pathos-Filled With Pain's Feathery Thoughts You Have Plundered Every Pose & Peace! ... Will Plumbed Depths of Sleep Not Be Caught? Oh, Pity-Pillow ... Placate This Ill You Make My Rest - A Bitter Pill ! I Close My Eyes, Only To See My Sandcastle Dreams ... Spill ... Still, It Gives Me Morbid Moments To Indulge In My Misery To Wail & Wallow & To Welcome "Lord, Why Me?" and "Woe Is Me!" Pity-Pillow of Memory Foam Grasping "Got Cha'!" At Every Groan Stacked To Decorate My Bed At Home Since A Crushed-Velvet Spread Was Sewn And Pity-Pillow's Pretty Case My Face, Smoothly Covered Muffled My Cries & My Sad Sighs and My Life's Laughter, Smothered and Blocks & Chokes Hope's Last Share As Stranglehold's Strong! & Getting Somewhere But Pity-Pillow's Pressure-Scare Cannot Suffocate My Prayer's Air ... Outside A Stormy, Half-Closed Window Rain, Washed The Waves of Weeping Willows As My Breath Pulsates In Sorrow-Billows Over and On Past A Pity's Pillow ... Yet, This Plumped & Prone To Pity, Pillow Panders To and Pockets Me Plush & Puffed With A Feeling Sad Story and It Feels Good - Feeling Pretty Sorry and If You Have Ever Felt Lain-Low Upon The Pile of A Pity-Pillow I Don't Even Have To Explain, You'll Know How Hard It Is To Let Go Oh, Pity-Pillow - Now Feel Dejected For Tonight - You Will Be Rejected and Stop Feeling Sorry For Yourself! As Back You Go - To The Linen Shelf - Watch Out! That's a pity-party, pillow-fight! Re-Written & Copyrighted ©: 9/21/2013 by: MoonBee Canady
