Perched on the eve of tomorrow
lonely is my dance ever so lonely
gingerly awaiting an ending to hope that is not
defeated by the grim particulars of this day
plummeted into the darkness of solitude and sorrow
just strong enough to abide by misery's cadence
pain is a forever companion
teasing me with glimpses of death to come
numbness overwhelms my emotional extremities
life's glowing expectations and shiny words
pass by my dark corridor disturbing the morbid peace that embraces me
I crave death to consume this wretched flesh
sadly I live
spying the reflection of shame in shattered glass
fear envelopes my half eaten soul
afraid to live beyond forever
death deserves me
Author notes
I usually write poems that rhyme this is a rare foray into this genre. Death is sad yet sadness is what life has given us. There is a sense of beauty in death. Really I'm not depressed. blessed to be able to express. I hope someone likes this I MIGHT TRY MORE

I really love your terminology! It is amazing! This is my favorite part: spying the reflection of shame in shattered glass
fear envelopes my half eaten soul
It is beautiful. Very amazing, very fantastic. It's incredible.
I love any poem that somebody has put any good soul into! This is remarkable work. Though writing isn't exactly work. But what can I say? This is art!
Good luck!
