Wasted Time
By Cor
  

Wasted time
Falls from lifeless fingers
Numb from the pain
Losing himself in the blackness of his hate
Hate for himself.

How could he have let this happen?
Let her slow fade
Like a forgotten shadow on his grave
Depression seeped through his life
Infecting all around
Teaching them the hatred, of himself he has found.

Gone, the days of crying
The days of hope,
The days of flying.

So long ago it seems,
She committed him here
At first he thought it but a dream
Alas, all he can do is scream

Safe, they say
In this room
Deep in gloom

Watched day and night
He gave them such a fright.
He tried to end the pain is all.
Now he has a padded wall.

"We won't let him hurt himself" they said
Not understanding
All inside is red.
Pain, hate, horror all around
Wishing it were he who had drowned.

Love for those around abounds
For him none can be found
To be forever locked away
Living the pain every day
He just hopes to fade away....

Red is the color of your poem to me too.  Nicely written, it is like punctuation to my day.
