The Sadness

The blue horizons growing blacker by the moment
It is like fading away into nothingness
no place to go and no one comes
The future is smeared by raindrops from these blues
I would still be crying on the floor but anger
welled up changing it to something else
Denying the deep pains release,
trapped in a fiery red lie of discontent
Meanwhile I anxiously await the blackened wing of death
Oppressed with cheerless days or was it just one long day
I would still be crying but the dark confusion steals
a little more, as for the hurt, healing is not allowed
While you limp upon your crutches,
around and around Golgotha’s hill
Only looking into the fractured eye socket,
for you cannot lift your head any higher
Wallowing in your self-loathing,
as the thick mud dries and hardens,
then clawing at the empty space, that lies in you bosom,
without hope in a sad world of disillusion
Empty bottles break, as you sit on the cliff
Although spiraling drunkenness never eases
the twilight or was it the dawn
Then more troubles gather like vultures,
to pick at your fragile skeleton of soul
You watch with utter horror,
then with rotten jealously as they feed
but I would still be crying;
I have too much to declare.
