Shade

A shady tree in the distance

Shade
Hovering over my swollen eyes
Sunken deep from lack of sleep
Somber ways and longer days
That hover over my swollen eyes

Dirty face of my disgrace
The leaks from the sweating peaks
Reddened skin of my own sin
That leaks from my sweating fingers

Hurting feet of my defeat
Baking lies that no one tries
Fading ties and wayward sighs
That hover over my swollen eyes

Author's Note

Pretty empty.

This is certainly a very dark piece, and yet captures the darkness in such a unique way. Through mere description, you're able to tell a tale of sorrow. Great job. (:
