Burn Out
A holding so utterly stark Nothing but the endless dark Rain falls achingly hard Blackens the place like mad A place of melancholy No one ever tries folly Colors and hues, black and blues Leaving no traces, no clues Sadness unknowingly holds Creeping in the bones Disappear without a word Cut by a double-edged sword Feel, breathe, give, ache Long for all those mistakes Cold hard bars, spaces like a harp Digs deep, like a knife, sharp Out and about, one gave up Twists and turns, an unwinnable bout Dreamed of an escape Not one was ever made Time stopped, clock turned Everything, burned.
