I Surrender

broken_dreams23

The wind, howling at the window,
Cold, unfeeling leaves that follow.
Lightning flashes across the sky,
In chorus with my defeated sigh.

Hearing thunder nearby,
The gods above anguish cries.
The sky is filled with flashes,
Like a whip creating a thousand slashes.

I had struggled,
My helpless cries are muffled.
You told me to try again,
Saying it's the advice from a friend.
They urge us on,

Like painfully stinging thorns.
I am at my wits end,
Already done all that I can.
Tried everything and every word,
I fell like a flightless bird.

The dawn approaches,
Come the teacher that coaches.
She taught me to live,
She taught me to weep.

Then she fades away,
Leaving in the trees that sway,
I am now without guidance,
Fading with insignificance.

I am now an unfeeling shell,
Others' deaths I never dwell.
I mourn after my innocence,
Lost in my own remembrance.
Words are thoughtless,

They are forever meaningless.
So I surrender to reason,
Looking in the sea for a final beacon.
Death is the only escape,
As she approaches under a cape.
