Feasting Him

Old man in despair hiding amongst the shadows alone Body drowning into the depressed fragile armchair Connection lost as old man faces despair of the end Old man’s brave face weeps a expression of a smile Cancerous venom attacking the fragile old man Old man not of old age but the venom feasting him alive

A sad poem, but a powerful one. I'm sure we all either know someone like this or have had a relative who was in this situation. Sad indeed. A well written piece. Thanks Claire, for reading and enjoying my work. You are most kind. Regards, Robert.
