Pick Your Topic: Sadness

Dear Life, please nourish me today On an aching morn tired and tedious soften mv wind with scents of vanilla tea and baked pages from a magazine's tray. The cloud too near molds a destitute face. A mirror of darkened. twisted hair and wrinkled brows veil my skin much older than the antique chair... Wasting time on a lease without solace in blowing circles of morning breeze that cannot hear the raging wire and chimes in my head. A trembling wail crushes a broken bell like barn owl's tenor Say something, speak to me upon this chilled midnight--- The one I hunger for doesn't answer or reply Vanilla tea melts my tears in pain. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Originally Written 7.17.2016 Resubmitted 11.18.2017 Contest: Choose A Topic: A, B, C or D
