confounded

a damning limerick

my eyelashes clogged with tears

how many seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years

I’ve been trying to figure this all out

leaving my earthly grounds and now floating with the spirits, blowout

no chance of resurrection, my odds are stake out in the wrong gears

    Sour and sweet...a rather sad ballad. And I have to remember to ask people to support me...! Great job! ;)
