Sewer of Sadness

Sewer of Sadness
Walking in the dark down a hole I fall Slipping in the darkness that consumes me Crashing to the bottom feeling so small Wet sewerness in constant misery She showed me the signs I chose not to see Now in emptiness I long for the chance to start over again in our romance Knowing I will never receive this wish Dreaming of her closeness in one more dance waking up in defecation with fish

Your imagery was potent, but when we have no chance with the one we desire, that's how it feels. Quite well done, congratulations!

Wow, Brian. An in your face kind of poem. I wasn't familiar with the form, but it is intriguing. Allows you to convey the setting of place and feeling rather well.
