Knee deep in this shallow pool
Me, the silent fool?
Underestimating everything and everyone,
I've come to find all but my mind,
just waiting for the perfect time.

The falls become stagnant,
have they been defeated?
The plaque swept through unseen,
a veil of smiles to distract me.
I feel the disease intruding, weakening my empty heart.

Somber days are filled with rain,
sullen streams,and a deadly breeze.
Sprawled out between the lies and deceit.
Make me silent, in order to bring me to my knees.

Like I've said, I'm numb.
So go in deeper.
I can't feel a thing anyway.
Go in deeper and deeper, and find some comfort.

A promise echoes about in my solitary silence,
I'm savoring it again in order to deny another savaged end.

Sacrifice some or all? A disappointment, again, for sure.
Like a silent night, or a deserted hole.
A raging river, to forget he loved her,
embrace the power, lightening already struck here.

The dark of your shadow hides your virtue.
I'm starving, so (edited by Moderator) hungry now.
Look what you have done,
but I'll starve or do anything
just as long as I don't desire the raven.

The shackles of a spectacle,
or the temptress who sabotaged my tender soul.
I tried feeding a bottomless pit,
to be deserted pitilessly.
Destined to apathy.

Aww, the angst,  it makes you wonder.

What a great poem....sad to say, I understand the pain and sorrow.
