Never have I felt such sorrow,
none of which I sought to borrow,
all my joys melt of tomorrow,
lately, lifeless, hopeless hollow.
Never have I knelt to anguish,
never just the must to vanquish,
in the dust I barely languished,
gone the sight of all the world.
Shocked and worn and barely able,
this terror was no labeled fable,
now the nightmare must stop before,
all of life is gone, obscured.
Weary, dreadfully, leery of the dark,
Noticed I, myself, was marked,
on their phrases all life embarked,
until thwarted by my departed heart.
