Dark Desperation
Desperation,
overwhelming
the only sound is
weeping, weeping, weeping
Dark shadows
o’er taking, suffocating
feel it
looming, looming, looming
Tired and broken
losing the battle
tire, tired eyes
seeping, seeping, seeping
Tears, soft and hot
down saddened cheeks slide
onto heaving breasts, heart
booming, booming, booming
Remembering warmth
security a myth
for now there is only
sleeping, sleeping, sleeping and
weeping, weeping, weeping.
