In lieu of love ~swap quatrain

Swap quatrain technique

 

Conflicted minds, pose certain death

Struggle and grief, is all that’s left

The dread I feel, at certain times

Pose certain death, conflicted minds

 

Darkness surrounds my fragile soul

Defense of thoughts, I’m sure will fold

Turmoil inside, I feel abound

My fragile soul, darkness surrounds

 

I stand alone, outside myself

My heart remains, upon a shelf

Hidden from view, I must atone

Outside myself, I stand alone

 

My eyes stay shut, from view of those

That sees me not, and still oppose

My will to live, within my gut

From view of those, my eyes stay shut

 

I beg of you, spare me this pain

This constant hurt, that still remain

Your vile contempt, you give in lieu

Spare me this pain, I beg of you
