Fragile Mind

Tortured souls echo midst shadowed loneliness Traveling the arteries of depressions hell Ever increasing self-torment ripples Whilst suicidal thought forms emotional swell Where all but lost screaming companions Personalise this vortex, this dull pain Darkness becomes a black sunshine Tears form, the only rain Loneliness suspends fragile of state of mind Whilst choking pleas becoming a little too much Fingers arthritic claw for gloved hand of hope Despairingly naked, searching velvet touch This place knows no horizon No beginning nor is there an end Sat within such self-piteous addiction Tortured reflection becomes tortured friend The darkness that envelopes this vacuum Has hope stumble forever groping lost No penetrating warmth of summer's eve Nor extremes of winter's frost Shadows that stalk this mental wasteland The vulnerable they will always find Steeping a lost soul within such depression Forever haunting man’s fragile mind
