I cried an ocean and fell in too deep
Eyes wide open; powerless to sleep
Floating listless through barren spray
In a world of color, seeing only grey
I painted a sunset and collapsed into night
Wings fallen away; incapable of flight
Trapped in desolation and hopeless defeat
Living with a soul only halfway complete
I smiled and my heart grew heavy with grief
I tried to believe but was met with disbelief
Neglect and doubt shadow my every stride
I have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
I screamed and yelled but I heard naught
I tried to think but was devoid of thought
Ceaselessly I sought love’s elusive cure
But a loveless heart is too much to endure
Was heard then a quiet poignant tune
Under the light of a bright crescent moon
Slowing with the ticking of love’s clock
Singing like a melancholy music box

This is just too good! I honestly stare at each of your poems for 5 minutes, then read it 2 more times, and then comment.... Can you please do me a favor though? Please tell me; how did you get to be so good??? You`re like a prodigy!
Awww thank you so much! 🙂 I'm not really sure... Mostly to get ideas I just think of something that's been bothering me lately (or making me happy!) and then thinking for a while of things that it could compare to... and just things like that. 🙂 Just write what you really care about. 🙂
