Romantic Despair.
My mind lay captive to its restless thought, The rivers ceased their journey to the sea. Time stood still as night in silence wrought, The rains lashed on, the floods consumed me. My body lay unmoving, carved in grief, My soul drifted lightly with the breeze. The air grew thin, each breath a thief, The tunnel’s light dimmed, lost with ease. A point of no return loomed close in sight, I lingered there, with no will to fight. Darkness, my old friend, embraced me tight Life held no meaning, only endless night. I was engulfed in despair’s cruel snare, Longing for a peace that was never there. Floating within the four walls of pain, I gazed at a world I could not claim. A tug-of-war between life and death, I yielded to the God who steals each breath. Sinking into the Unknown’s domain, Yet a smile spread across my face, despite the pain.
