Accused
coldness
so empty
the darkened despair
life but a dream
and no longer there
no one around
just myself
all alone
plea-cries unanswered
unhappy
condoned
me the accuser
myself
the condemned
dreams unrequited
from which the hope stemmed
safety
in darkness
danger in light
thoughts well unspoken
safe
out of sight
image unbidden
rise from the mind
sanity gone
too hard to find
eyes become guarded
not soon enough
crime is committed
punishment’s rough
rejected
ignored
the fault all my own
blame now accepted
the reasons
unknown
faithfulness dying
submersed in pain
once was my joy
now is my bane
struggling
to breathe
no end in sight
troubles unending
gripping me tight
hysterical dreaming
reality unreal
overwhelms the senses
can no longer feel
everlasting
forever
utopia burned
degraded and
used
think i’d have learned
