My Lonely Birthday

...This evening;
(I will age.)
I will crumble,
...to deceased;
clutching the remnants of happiness
...to my chest.

Like the most precious treasure
...lost for eternity,
I resign myself to defeat;
tonight,
...on my lonely birthday.

The spiders comfort me,
weave silk blankets to quell my tears.
They dance for me,
sway from spinneret to spinneret,
...but they cannot stop the despair,
which I feel,
...on my lonely birthday.

The spirits, O' so human
...are the spirits,
that bring me gifts wrapped in ectoplasm
(and a bow)
...an old toothbrush, a used comb,
which they found laying in the road;
will not stop the pain that eats at me.

I tell them to go home.
...they make faces,
dance and joke
(to find my smile)
...I lost it long ago,
on a deserted road
(where few would go)
my tears continue unabated.

Regardless of the sentiment,
...the will of merriment,
I will weep against a wall
(fore there is loneliness in a crowd)
the feeling of obligation,
feeling so unwanted,
the world itself is insincere.

So I will weep against a wall,
pushing back the happiness
(possessed by loneliness)
...yet another wasted year,
culminating,
...on my lonely birthday.

Poor Lonely Me

Woke this morning to a lonely bed
Rolled over and scratched a lonely head
Went to the beach to watch a lonely sea
Instead a lonely sea watched a poor lonely me
Tried to walk down a quiet street
And it rained on poor lonely me
Dipped my sorrow in ice cream
That only made me hate being me
Stood on a bridge and waited for glee
Instead depression shadowed me
So i closed my eyes and went for the leap
Hoping this jump would set me FREE!!
