Sitting upon my throne of heartache A crown of regret upon my brow I have become the lonely king of sorrow For my touch can kill a heart Remnents of love once felt Friendships, family alike Their hearts lay before me Scattered by the winter wind arms raised to the heavens, I cry out "Why have I been forsaken?!" with every life I touch, Every smile I bring brings about their destruction I helplessly watch as their hearts crumble Their lives meeting utter ruin Much like my own Wiping the tears from my eyes, I pray that my awful power disappear, but not before gracing my horrid soul to avenge all the people I love yet I have destroyed then a grim realization comes to pass filling my heart with fear this pestilent Midas touch brought my worst fear to life that all whom I love and cherish disappear from my life wishing not to have me near that my wounds would cut them deeper than any other ever could I cry out to all whom I love in this world Screaming, begging for forgiveness But receiving only silence If only I could be rid of this curse That loneliness would not be my companion That I could know happiness once again Fear destroys the mind, depression destroys the soul... only love and compassion may save you from death.

I think we have all felt like this at one time or another, and I've a saying about it, but I fear it's a bit risque' for forum decorum. Although this is dark, I enjoyed the honesty of the angst, I am only confused by line five of the first stanza... Were you intending remnants? Or perhaps reminisce (I have trouble spelling that one too--  )But all in all, I enjoyed very much. I tend to write very dark at times too, so I do understand. |

raw and sad...I think you expressed yourself effectively here. enjoyed. Your storm of assumption feeds anger I am calm enough to hold inside. Don't pretend to know me if you've never put stretched out your heart with since |

Nope, you did mean remnants didn’t you? That’s how I read it and it made perfect sense that way. Quite the outpouring of the soul here. Much emotion and dark feeling. May tomorrow bring a brighter day. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Ah, much truth here. But, remember this, the right one will withstand and weather all. Even the most impossible situations. You'll find her. Hang in there. All writing comes |

Still full of angst, Lonely Shadow? I've been to your homepage (last month?), and felt the darkness pour from within your heart. I will continue to hope that things take a brighter turn for you. There is much darkness out there, and sometimes even more within. Sometimes you really have to close your eyes to everything around you, and quietly search for your own source of bright light, then bring it up from the deepest corners of your mind and heart. |
