The Usual Tale
-----
Sitting in a dystopia
Drinking the wine

I knew you once
When we were in love
But it happened so fast
Still I could simle
A sign of hope
For me in these dark times
A glimpse at what could be true

And then it was over
No more pain, hope, forgiveness
Nothing dwelled on me
I was alone again

Unhappy

And I tried to relive it
Many times
No use, I had to abandon
So I slept the infernal sleep
I gave up on time

And I was sitting in a dystopia
Drinking the wine

i was going to say this sounds like the usual story of heartbreak...but then i think you knew that.

not the usual wording.
dystopia is one of those words that you don't get to hear often. i'd like to bring it back.
thoroughly enjoyable poem.

it's our struggle for identity that leaves us all unknown
