Dream Famine

Where is the respite for my weary soul?

By j.d. davisPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

I don't understand this sorrow

This silence in the dark

I know this loneliness too well

Wish I could just find the oasis

Or any taste of sweet relief

Days are longer

...Nights forever dread

S0rrow a long suffering thorn

Peace merely a mirage

Bitterness attacking the Sun

Devouring the Moon

Longing for this sand to be a sea

But the sea would still go on forever

Into the abyss my conscious sinks

If only to dream one last time before death minus compass closes me forever

sad poetry

About the Creator

j.d. davis

Seeker. Thinker. Melancholy. Conflicted believer. Evolving human. Bipolar being. And sometimes I use bad words.
