Condolences (Free verse) by Carvaceous
Desperately seeking for breath
seeing shadows of aparitions in a stupor of pain
Understanding the lonliness of time while
slipping,
Into the clutches of darkness.
Wanting peace.
Black and blue rotting inside and out.
Leaving them,
Leaving me, to search for answers not to be found
no reasoning near.
Wandering amidst uncertaintly with feeble footing
Tears falling behind closed doors
Flipping roles to carry new burdens
Some too taxing others non-existent
Drunken with a fever of sorrow
stumbling on,
gaining new insights in things not to be shared.
Eyes all around heavy with sleep not to be gotten,
red rimmed windows reminiscing of days long gone
All the while surrounded by the clinging odor,
sharp and piercing to the senses.
Never to be forgotten, the suffocating smell,
Pressing down wafting through this place.
Permeating our minds with thoughts,
memories,
never to be forgotten.
