keen
my starlit disaster keens in the dark
where I keep company with ghosts
bleeding nothingness I gather my secrets
and eat them with a bitter chaser
swallowing the lies I tell myself to believe
tiny scars speak truth
cuts inflicted by life's trials
soul to soul I whisper honesty
drinking the loneliness down
holding beauty hostage
I ask her for one more dance
my starlit disaster keens alone in the dark
it's a little darker now

Crimsin, I like the poem, not the angst that inspired it. I hope that you're ok.... the poem is well expressed and well organized!

Crimsin, I find your work more deep, than dark...no matter, I invariably see the talent in what you write.

These dark writes bring to light some of the struggles we may be going through and it resonates with the reader. It's ok to be sad from time to time, we can't be riding the wave's crest all the time.
