Touch- Sharon's Acrostic

Towards a setting sun I trudge my weary way
Oblivious of the gathering darkness
Under a sullen and bleeding sky
Chagrined and beside myself with sorrow,
How can heaven stand by and let me languish so?

This is fantastic, filled with sorrow and desperation, it bleeds form the page. Really nicely done.
