Sacrificial cloud

 

You cradled the world in a tear

You holdout a flask and catch it.

But there’s nobody else in there.

You’re just unwilling to admit it.

 

You spin a web to keep out the cold

You entrap yourself in your own web,

But its silken prison will not hold.

Before you know it more tears ebb.

 

Oh how you wish you were dead

But as the tears evaporate

Yours eyes clear their bloodshed,

Empty shell cases till a serrate!

 

New pain recharges your heart again.

"A boy who loves you watches you.

Now he watches over you.

As you unravel, again, and again to his love.

 

Eyes flashing like a flashlight

Now all your tears are aglow.

Like a rainbow heading anywhere

Than; another empty sacrificial cloud.

Brutally sad....how can someone live in such a spiral? Yet so many do live with depression. Your imagery is superb in this one, Mark. Well written. Lydi**

This is a devastating spiral of pain... to be entangled in such a web can be the death of a soul...
Well penned!
