"Flat Liner" 4 - 6 - 02
raining the pain
showering the hate
dousing the love
covering the light above
ripping and tearing
twisting and gripping
trying for the light
before the come of night
darkness enveloping
hopelessness encrouching
death begins its lurk
as life ends its jerk
hopeless, lost
such a high cost
to try and to fail
against the rain and hail
now lifeless and still
without vigor or a light
rigor mortis instills
as the line sets with the night....
