the world is slipping out of my control
I’ve dug myself into this hole
I guess I’ll never see,
what was meant to be
inside of me
the dust as dry as
leaves of tea
the life is slowly dripping
from my soul
my emotions whirling out of control
I have no one to love
except this white dove
that a car hit driving by
struggling like I
to fight the pain
it’s lying in the road
while I corrode at the very sight
and scream with all my might
up to the sky,
“Oh Lord, why?”
the strength is seeping out my pores
and I can’t help but feel
that all the doors are closed on me
and I have no where to go
but stranded out in the rain,
in the street with the dying dove
I’ll just kill it
so it doesn’t have to feel it
anymore
the road is flooded with the rain
my heart is flooded with this pain
I lie my body on the asphalt
thinking to myself that
everything’s my fault
I hold the dead bird up to my chest
and wait for fate
to do the rest
free me from this wretched pest
that’s eating inside at me

This poem is so dark and yet so emotional and deep. The symbolism is so awesome!!! I absolutely loved this.
