Pretence Of Life
Walking sack of bones
Rattling in the darkness
Seeking solace
Finding none
A laughing moon
Gleaming upon ugliness
Painting a shadow
Of glaring faults
The ruin deep in eyes
A soul of pestilence
Beauty slowly rotting
Knowing the touch of death
The pretence of life
Through a sliver of emotion
Fading breath
Lost in a cemetery breeze
Rattling in the darkness
Seeking solace
Finding none
A laughing moon
Gleaming upon ugliness
Painting a shadow
Of glaring faults
The ruin deep in eyes
A soul of pestilence
Beauty slowly rotting
Knowing the touch of death
The pretence of life
Through a sliver of emotion
Fading breath
Lost in a cemetery breeze

Going through a dark phase it seems, these ones are the easiest to write for me

This is very well crafted, AspergerPoet. I enjoyed it all the way around: content, form, rhyme.
Hopefully it found some solace in life - if only for a while.

This is just really haunting a picture, achieved in a short poem, good darkness..
