Limbo

Purgatory (April 2013)

Dark presses in with the weight of sorrows

I’m losing the dream of tomorrows

I close my eyes, but the end pervades

No longer can hide my misery in life’s shades

 

I hear cold comfort calling

I rest in clean porcelain queen

The stainless is now falling

Blood and flesh in-between

 

The trees have lost their color

My heart has stained the floor

The pressure has pushed my ears

To the tunnel of no more

 

All sad longing’s gunning

As tan goo greases a shattered hole

I watch my anguish sliding with me

Haunting to cavers low

 

I bathe in Lethe

But Somnus’ poppies reflect your light

Acrost Styx I run from myth

But love’s yearning still stands bright

 

Above I lived in limbo

In perdition it has not changed

Every day I climb with memories

Of things that never came

 

Every evening I jump with them

And carom to death's dirt

These desires are never ending

Love never more than hurt

 

I was brought to live in torture

Never rewarded from suffering

I hope happily you are living

I hope I wasn’t your dream…

This is one of my favorites from what I've read of your writing

Thanks! It's in my top three of what I've posted. I wrote it after writing a letter to a certain someone and waiting months with no response. Now that I have been responded to, and more months have passed, I feel I may still be in the same spot. Oh well...

some do not understand the glory that you give, they just need a punch in the face in order to live
