I Thought

Why did I come out here to this unfair stagnant place

Where the transient lost souls all have an apathetic taste

I thought the journey out would bring me closer to my dreams

But each passing day brings only cold and choked back stifled screams

And in the burning sunlight my pale skin absorbs too much

When the only warmth I need is from my true loves caring touch

Yet when I seek that truth, that love, the escape from feeling all alone

My darkened angels love embrace feels coarse, not flesh at all but bone

The reaper leads me through my days, her cold grip on my hand

Down the isle bearing witness to a black and dying land
