A Poem by melancholy

 i cannot capture the portrait of time-

my grasp is out of reach like a child's prayer-

burdened by the gift of love-

torturous thoughts that i create given compassionately from above-

moving swiftly through each and every second-

 too far away from my comprehension to understand the moment-

i'm here but  only as a witness of things-

memories are like dreams-

my mind is in battle with my reality-

what of my soul-

what's left to keep of me-

my bones- 

the only truth that i know-

life is death's sweet kill-

as high hopes die and time keeps standing still-

 tomorrows morning sun will soon set with me-

my purpose is empty and lost-

without it i am a ghost-

i cling to this this temorary shell with a grip of death-

waiting desperately with every waking breath-
