Lately

Sun goes down over the dock 

Colors blending together on the bay

Tears fall into the water 

One by one they fall

Rejection, the greatest of heart breaks

Has set over me once again 

Underestimated, disregarded 

Bypassed and Forgotten 

light separates black from the setting brightness

Truth and helplessness weeping quietly on the dock

Shattered visions recited silently, and grieving 

I whispered to the night 

My hopes, 

My fears, worries

But the fog made it hard to breathe 

Tears made it hard to see

There are things that shouldn't ever be confessed

To the darkness 

She is deceit

Disguised regret

She will devour your heart

paint your desires on the dried out fields

Her teeth and fingers dripping

Red

Accuse you of everything you have and haven't said 

Every single word whispered 

Is another word in a letter

The world will hear as howls

As leaves dry my leaking eyes

Their twisted boughs sway to the 

Drunken sound 

Of my sobbing cries

Detached words 

Abstracted isolation disconnected my security 

My existence questioned

Over these longest hours

Ah, but every strength I'd possessed 

Receded with the dimming day

Hopelessly deserted

Abandoned, out in the wilderness 

Nightmares

Become a familiar tune
Yet in my thankfulness I shall remain
