Final Fantasy
words travel miles
in herds
dripping waterfalls of tears
filled with irrational excuses
conveying untold sorrow
scurvy of soul
multicolored by disease
intangible to touch
but tasted in depths
of forlorn poetry
floating on pages
of background laughter
definitions abstract
among defined emotions
searching superior shadows
for elusive daylight
finding only
prompted screams
in every line
sweetly sour phrases
rich in texture
yet void of hope
dwell in margins
horrid percentages
conveying a poet's
blunted blindness
to forced cheerfulness
concluded distress
written in indelible ink
on minds and hearts
penned with perception
that suicide is never
painless
only a poet's
final fantasy...
