The Plunge
The waterfall draws near.
Standing on the edge of destruction:
My sanity beaten and weary.
The waves hath
brought me here.
The torrents hath
dragged me
to the
ends of
the
earth.
A cold breeze pricks my fragile skin -
And I plunge.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Disappointment
A heavy heart
filling with rivers
of self-pity.
A weary mind
unhinged by memories
of pain.
Dark, heavy eyes
overflowing with tears
of sorrow.
Days of hope
murdered by a second
of sad reality.
