Shards of Withered Happiness



by the Lovesick Proletariat



heres a crappy poem i wrote about my crappy life.
enjoy.


  I

I am alive,
But im not living,
Empty and jaded,
with naught to be giving,
I sit all day in misery
Dying from what i cannot see,
Thinking of what i cannot be


  II

The story recalled
unfolds in my brain
Its honesty scalds
Till i feel im insane

III

I love her more than anything
Forever; till i can no longer sing
I will always love her
like i did in 6th grade
though the trouble id stir
made me from comfort forbade
I thought of her
And Her angelic soul
Made me lose control,
Her shimmering eyes
I would drown inside,
Till i could think
of nothing more
than how i stink
at my very core

IV

Inferior to the angel i love,
Withering from every shove
Wanting to die
I can only cry
My wings are broken
So i cant fly
Seeing now there is no token
That she ever loved me

Sad but honest look at affections that aren't mutually shared, enjoyed this poem!!!

Welcome to Passions!

This aches...and sounds very familiar, my
hope is that you can find healing within
your writing as so many do...You opened a
piece of your broken heart and let it bleed
poetry...many thanks~
