Somber

Thine eyes have seen rainy days.
                                  Turning thy heart unto a desert.
                                     Scorched and dried of emotion.
                                  Unable to shade the burn of 
                                  circumstance.
                                     Intense shame, depleting all
                                  would be motivation.
                                    Castrated, devoid of a free spirit.
                                  Behold, amongst we, the walking dead.
