through the dark waters

As I struggle onward
My days are darker
Than a once burning coal
Dowsed with tears

I stagger
The high winds
Of despair
Sinking deeper
Into a lake of regret

Its surface
An impregnable cage
Of leaden pain

As the pain grows stronger
My life grows dimmer

As sadness flows out
Not from my eyes
But from my arms
