Thoughts Like a Lost Suicide
entombed within the back pages
of the haunted mind…….

Crawl out of the darkness
just to crawl back inside
The light offering no comfort
only burns my eyes
Standing in the shadow of
illusion, the mirror telling lies
Hides the sorrow, the clenched
teeth, this half smile
I want to die……
