footprints without imprints

failure
is all I amount to

and a count of two score
re-affirms
this life I deplore

I feel more alone
then I ever have before;

this ache
claims its calamitous stake

and I wish not to anymore-

I'm ready to lay
to flay ground
to steal sanctity's sound

to humbly say
its better if I wasn't around

for joy, for me
is no where to be found

and death
keeps making alluring ground

it offers peace,
release

from demons that get me down;

I long for comfort
to somehow fit

but it seems I'm hit
with what are becoming distant scenes

these lifelong dreams
shatter seams,
they crucify screams

as it leaves me completely bereft
utterly upset

at how solitude is so mean-

I realise
with me

no one wants to be seen

so I surrender
and await

my blood to drip clean

to empty veins
in vacuous gains

until nothing about me

ever remains...

    I feel the pain, loneliness and abject despair in this poem, my friend. I hope its just that way for the contest. Such a well crafted poem as this should be a winner in this contest

  • Very, Very Sad

    This is very, very sad. Touching, heartfelt and poignant, your words here 'feel' so real. To feel such pain that comes through in your words must be heart-breaking. Your words touched me deeply and I just want to say to you Poppa that I sincerely hope you don't feel like this at the present time. If you do feel like this my heart goes out to you. With love&my very best wishes from Rose xxx for you x
