I watched the sun drown itself in the black hills, and I sat through the long darkness that threatened to rip apart my resolve. Now the sky turns milky gray as the sun prepares to resurrect itself and begin the day. I watched through the despair to see the demons go... to feel the light dissolve the shadow, but the shadow stayed, torturing my desperate eylids, embedding their gray in the depths of my pupils. Sleep would end my nightmare, only in blackness can the dark settle back in to the mist... but I have seen it through the night and now it will not leave... maybe never leave? I am soaked in tears and blood, sodden in darkness and the light can no longer burn it away. From the 8th floor golden tendrils crack the heavens.... but refuse to melt the death from my eyes.

Cold shoulders, they need that red sweater
Swaying to and fro feeling like your heavier
Just lay down and breath alittle slower
Take your knees and bring them in closer
Now cry through all this pain
Such a good soul its just alittle
alittle searing
alittle buring inside your heart
Ok now that your staring into you soul
breath that last little breath
And give in to it all -
while the intent is obviously not, the wording is beautiful. my favorite line is "Now the sky turns milky gray as the sun prepares to resurrect itself and begin the day." while i hope you are in a better place emotionally this is a very good piece. thank you for sharing with us.

Still awake
on the 8th floor
I watch the sunrise
and think about moving
to an apartment on
the other side of the building
because I'm not a morning person...
I hope you've gotten some rest since this. I like your way with words, but am sorry for the place you are that creates such works as this...

Oh. This is a very sad poem that you have going on here.
I don't remember you writing such sad poems before but it has been a long time since I've seen you post something so maybe things have really changed for you. It was pretty expressive and flowed easily for me so I think that you did a good job of expressing yourself. I hope that you feel better after writing this.
