Despair and Sadness

and Blackness

 

Life is like a wilting rose of despair

Trapped within the lair of sadness

Wondering why all the maddness

endures endlessly

Blackness deep within my soul

filling my innermost thoughts

clouding my judgement deeming my heart

to the blackness of despair

Sadness as it entwines my innermost  thoughts

I look deep for the answers

longing for some sign

wondering why to burden me with such a fine

all down the line of the sadness and despair

of this word called life

Why must it be so full of strife this game we call life

Is there somewhere to turn?

Where the innocent can learn

before the sadness and despair

take their turn Blackness everywhere

Sadness entails the blackness

and pulls them into the  lair of despair

Darkness in the end rules over all

entailing all to fall with nowhere left to call

Dwelling in the sadness and despair forever

never to return nor to learn

Blackness,Sadness,Despair

takes over vowing to keep you

engulfed in it  eternally never to escape

As Death

takes over second by second

hour by hour As the three

pull me and others into it

as they see fit  till the blackness

despair and sadness slowly

take what little rays of light left

slowly flicker  growing dimmer

and dimmer day by day hour by hour

second by second as i fall deeper

deeper into total blackness

despair and sadness, As I long to be happy

once more,as i come to the realization

that it is a dream to wish for nothing more

as i soar into the death of the blackness

sadness and despair till i am no more

just the blowing of my inner soul

along through the night with the sadness

and despair  and blackness that dwells

through the complexity of what is called life

Finally i have found peace alone in

the Sadness Darkness and Despair

Where i longed for every second of life

never to have anymore strife in

this pitiful game of

life.......
