Banshees screaming in my face Life rotting senseless in my place Dragged away by a demonic mage Happiness fastened inside a cage Tufted in the blackest of holes Outside the bars it cajoles Peering down with a sinister grin Joy perishing meager without whim Lying underneath scattered downs Dreaming of ups through all the frowns Reaching for hope through blind eyes Rummaging answers through surmise Laugh at me in my decay Snicker as I fade away Shove me deeper into the shadows Bury me beneath your echoing bellows
Reason for writing:
Life & loneliness.
Birth sign: Taurus
