I Can Write Dark Endings TooA Poem by Cole HayleyJust how I felt today.Today I just can't shake this terrible feeling. A feeling of complete plastic innocence. To be covered in a beautiful scintillation from a glass shell Only to be coated with an onyx shroud of oil. The dusky reflection from my mirror's greying metal plays with my hair Its rusted fingertips try to be so inconspicuous in the groggy gloaming I know they will never tell me the truth. All that lies below me is just a sanctuary of green. Mossy undergrowth sticking out through a sea of melancholy Vacillating an immense glow from the towering woodlands. And now for once in my life I can finally feel everything… Everything holding me back from its brilliant promises. I know I don't belong down there. Down there with all of its beautiful mutations and authentic colours The shadows of my darkest thoughts will just cloud mating season. Today I decided to go for a run on the boardwalk. I noticed something on my fourth lap around the splintering dead grove The carcass of a seagull was floating in the murky pond Covered ever so carefully with a decaying brume. It had the most honest grin plastered on its face. A grin that told me that I'm the only one who's afraid A grin that ruined my whole week. © 2012 Cole HayleyAuthor's Note
