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.
