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.
