Nothing changed.
In my dreams of ending a nightmare
Giving life into faith…
… Nothing…
… Nothing has changed.
As blood-watered lawns yield abundantly green fields
Where stone-cold apostrophes speak volumes in spurts of loving grief
There’s but one six foot hole filled with everything
But life’s eternally giving seed.
Like a suicides painful redemption in servitude to oneself
The pang lingers in the scarification of earth’s boundless beauty
With warmth ever absent
I am the gray behind the rainbow
There was a world I once inherited
In it… all of the things I ever needed
Lost in the depths of self-centered pity
From heartbreak and many, many
Other sources of unrelenting despair.
Therefore I lay
Among the unfurling knolls
Green as envy and goblin skin…
… and I…
… am its missing tooth.

"self-centered pity"
Hell yes...
it's easy to do.
" … and I…
… am its missing tooth."
So good, one of the best uses of 'tooth' I've ever seen.

Moving.
So many pen of such sunshine they claim they see, I call it denial of reality. Endless pang within each moment rings to remind me of this all so simply truth. Thanks for sharing, and for your time reading me earlier poe bro, peace and politics. (Very Funny).

Tragic and well written. But suicide makes me sick to my stomach. I see to much in this world worth living for to condone anyone ending thier life because they are unsatisfied. You only get once chance to live and walk this world. Things can get extremely difficult at times,yes. And you feel like you can't go on. But you have to always remember that tommorow is another day and we live in a time and place where nothing is impossible, highly unlikely perhaps, but never impossible. I should stop rambling now. This piece brought out a lot of strong emotion from me.

I am the gray behind the colored hues of a colorfull rainbow in time. Lost to despair and lonliness! I pitty my fate and yours. We live within our own crying souls...I wish you more happiness my friend. We all deserve it sometimes.
