Despair

“Despair draws you down,
into the blackest well.
Filling you with the aching loneliness
of the forgotten myths.

A sorrowful taste
of forbidden fruit.
The echoing of a lone voice
in a labyrinth of pain.
Its stench is of the sweet stench of ones life force,
ever flowing from the never closing wounds of the past.

Your mind forever walks
towards the distant light of hope.
And yet…
never reaches its peaceful grasp." ~Jennifer Renee

    yeah it’s very emo : ) but in a good way…

  • yea i thought so too… i think i had written it when my boyfriend at that time had broken up with me….
    and of course that warrants such a dark feeling like despair…lol
