He draws his last breath,
In,
And in it he sees the sun to the west,
Its rays seem to cry for his help,
But to no avail,
The daughter of morning,
Is snatched for ransom,
By her dark uncle,
Twilight is his partner,
And morning pays,
So the whole process can repeat,
And morning is sad,
Her depression is complete,
Her tears,
Our rain,
The other stars watch with sympathy,
But none see him,
As he sinks to a maroon floor,
His skin is leaking and,
His heart tries to fill the void,
Out,
Wind issues from him,
Visible,
But disapaiting,
And he weeps,
His reflection off of hard steel,
Sharp,
And red,
As are his wrists,
But he does not cry for help,
For it is too late,
The world grows dark twice,
For him,
His tears fall to the floor,
The curtains flare,
As the world breaths,
Mockingly,
He is too weak,
Yet he feels remorse,
And as he joins the stars,
And beyond,
He wishes,
Full of sorrow,
For another breath.

Hey Jester welcome to the dark forum. I hope you'll stay awhile, for you fit right in here my friend. Loved this kinda sad

Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely.

jester...followed this tragic story all the way...sucked me in and took me for a ride..beautifully told. I loved how his hope of having things differently lasts until the end...and he is reminded cruelly that it simply cannot be. Well...loved how you expressed it anyway. Thanks

I loved the line...
The daughter of the morning is snatched
for ransom. Very visual and I liked it alot.
Welcome from myself also
