one sad day [despair]

today,

i feel nothing

but the cruel torment of my hearts lament,

heavy like a stone,

in the void of my chest,

i try, but to no avail

to free myself

from the slow sadness

of resistance.

perhaps,

i feel,

i even want death,

as a means of escaping from it

this lonely title role

for which i am not meant

threaded to my shadow,

coiled like a serpent,

draining me to vacancy

despair can only produce an outcome,

if in it i find some understanding,

and there is none~
