Not One for Smiling - 2009 Discovery Collection

Written in 2009 - R.I.P. My Love. While not the best piece of writing, its an important part of the journey https://thepoetarmistead.weebly.com

He's not the one for smiling,
He loves his darkness so.
Everything a shade of black,
With stains of unwanted heart beats.

He wallows in his own sorrow,
But edges the worst away by blade,
He has a girl, a lover,
He sees collateral, a hostage.

More than a major depressive,
Un-controlled by prozac, or Clozapine,
Prone to miss a dose,
And not scared to over.

He doesn't give a damn,
Tries to defend those around,
But loses his own battle,
Loses his own mind.
