Bittersweet Serenity
Having flown with you.
Having watched you wither.
Beauty remains,
But the most beautiful has blown away.
Memories remain.
Mementoes remain.
Hate the remains of my life without you.
Mistakenly
You have taken me
To the open, angry earth.
You have left me to claw my casket.
Scraping,
Scratching,
Spastically striving...
To escape,
To survive.
I’m alive!
Withered,
Wired,
Watch the whimsical poet.
Flying,
Frying,
The bastard with the bowl.
I had five days to choose the chosen.
Five days to direct the destiny of the predestined.
Five days done gone by...
Loved no one.
Felt so low.
Felt I was going nowhere...
There was nowhere to go.
Felt I knew no friends...
There were no friends to know.
Solitary.
I have succumbed to seclusion.
Beat down.
Feeling the dry ground.
Fearing the melodic sound:
My desperate breathing.
My own heart beating.
But my fears could not imagine the depth of lonliness.
