been a little depressed so i threw this poem together
Bleak and Elysian Tears
There are so many things, that I’ve never had
And there are so many things, which have never made me glad
the one tear that’s creeping, down my sorrowful cheek
It leaves an invisible line, that’s wet and bleak
as it passes and lands, on the wet ground below
Silently the blue tears, start forming and flow
as memories of the past, come flooding in
Fast and colder the blue tears begin
As I come up to emotion, that’s never been said
My hearts ripped out, and my blood is shed
as I remember times, when I’d actually smile
The bleak line on my cheek, becomes a violent Nile
it’s so hard to remember the terms of my past
Because most of my smiles never really would last
I kept on thinking those things would change
But they never did and I became more deranged
As my tears begin to slow, and the pain is withdrawn
I leave everything, buried in the forest of foregone
There are so many things, that I’ve always had
Just never saw the truth, the friends that made me glad
