Peter Dome Poet Free verse

Fading Away

I stand alone 
Weary whithering
Like a fading bloom
Deep within a forest
Shrouded in darkness
Beneath the towering trees
That took my daylight away
I'm suffocating I cannot breath
Smothered by creepers
And fallen leaves
Forgotten worthless
Void of love and tender care
I let out a primal scream
My pain so much
That goes unheard
I am pecked clawed by scavenging 
Carrion bird
Life is a heavy weight chained to my heart
That curses my being
And is tearing me apart.
