Darkened skies,

Gloomy thoughts,

A heart of stone,

A soul lost along the way.

Midnight rains come to

Wash away the sludge

Trapping thoughts

Inside this deep mire.

Yearning for a touch,

Any touch that will melt

The frost surrounding

A heart frozen in darkness.

Memories of sweet nectars

Nourishing a parched soul

Whilst sipping on a chalice

Overflowing with bitter wine.

Wistful longings,

For a life spent.

A life wasted.

A life of woe.
