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
