Despair and Darkness

A Poem by streetrose

Within my heart,
you'll find fallen leaves
scattered ashes.

My life is never-ending despair,
it's a fog of melancholy
that engulfs me everyday
~ it's the terror of living,
of waking up every morning
to a dark sky,
bearing the weight
of a forced smile
on my damaged spirit.

My life is
the falling of a tear,
the waking of a sigh,
and the heart barely beating.

My life is,
despair and darkness.
