Sour Milk

Yesterday blurrs another day,
today bleeds into tomorrow,
emptiness within
strips the skin,
swallowing sensation
molested by frozen sun

The cream of dreams leak sour
as today weeps for tomorrow,
yet another day blurrs yesterday,
all is ugly, shackled in sorrow

Screams curdle my veins
as walls mock with shadows,
and, ache refuses to let go,
so, instead, I decay,
and, the moon drips smiles no more
as the stars fall from the sky to die,
still, I fail to see
that the milk in the fridge
has gone bad
as darkness licks it's lips
to devour me

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Melissa, this is such a sad poem; my heart cries out to your sorrow and anxiousness, for I too have these feelings all the time. (big hugggsssss) Always follow your loving heart, and you will be taken where the sunshine always glistens! (kiss on cheek) Back up to the top you go! YAY!!! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Melissa, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Melissa,

     Ahhh chickie I hate to see such words of sadness and hurt from you. I hope everything is ok with you... You know where I am if you ever need anyone to talk to. *hugs*
     Good write however.. You always express your feelings so well.

Big warm hugs,

it always amazes me how you can be so light and romantic at one moment and so dark and sad at the next moment. . . it's like there are really two of you . . . not just two sides. . . but two different Melissas. . .

well done. . . the darkness envelopes one here. . .

You express the dark sombre thoughts so well here. Your imagery is so vivid, I swear you write with a magic pen. Excellant writing as always.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?
