The days are running longer.
Curtains contain the darkness
that shrouds my mood.
Keeping me from stumbling from my bed
of helpless despair.

The moon is a traitor of light
that can’t fool me into believing
that anything good lasts,
that loyalty means something,
and it doesn’t hurt to be betrayed.

It’s a mood I am sure.
But it’s clinging to me
with a fierceness that won’t belie
the feeling that it’s all rolling downhill
and I can’t catch up.

Could be that I have crossed
the line into crazed thoughts
and insane ideas.  

Does it matter?

It all has the same results.
Me here.
Everyone else way over there,
except the ones like me.

It’s just a mood I am sure.
But it feels like heaviness
that won’t go away.

I’ve been wishing for tomorrow
every day this week.

"I’ve been wishing for tomorrow
every day this week."

Gosh... this has to be thought around the world by so many people...including me

Wonderful read Susan

is the moood clinging to you, or you to it?

and if that mood doesn't change, is tomorrow just another browken promise?

thought provoking write, susan.
