Anhedonia

Kora

No words can quell
This plangent sound
That howls within me,
The mournful chiming
Of a stoical, little bell,
Entombing the last
Vestige of innocence
I still possess, 
Like a tumour
You have poisoned
All that I am,
Down to the bone,
Now what remains
Is a wretched husk,
Detached from the light,
Deadened, ruined, 
Lost.

    What little was there now trampled underfoot and destroyed in this poem of destruction. Well written

    • Kora

      Thank you Soren. It contains a lot of pain, and a definite resignation.

      • sorenbarrett

        You are most welcome Kora may the pain dissipate

      • Lorenz

        Try to transcend your mournful chimeras with black humor !

      • Fränz Müller

        Quite powerful. Very well written, Kora!
