Dreary Soul

There are many a times i ponder my death,
Dallying when it shall come to collect my debt,
In the cavernous depths of my weary soul, 
I wait and watch to pay the toll.

Bottles of tears I've collected,
Bottles more to go,
Soundless and sleepless lo the faces pass and go,
Yet i stand blatant ,to face my fears and sores.

Taking its leave,
Stranded with guilt unseen,
I patiently yearn,
For the page to turn.

Loathing...
Hating ..
Awaiting..
Pining..
