Blackout #164

Drained of you

Second Place Silver

They say There is always A silver lining But I find That little ray A poor Consolation prize -Kel Dayheart

Ink stained hands ache With the shakes That comes from a marathon Of endless creating -Kel Dayheart

I wish I could sing you a lullaby So you could close your tired eyes And rest for once -Kel Dayheart

Try to put away That part of you The one who tells you You don't deserve this -Kel Dayheart

I feel it build Within my chest Until I'm coughing Up blood -Kel Dayheart

Women all the same Want a ring But some unfortunate ones Find themselves wrung instead -Kel Dayheart

The reflection in the water Is distorted But it shows my warped soul Just fine -Kel Dayheart

Curiosity Killed the cat, but nothing will Bring him back again

He stared with heavy eyelids
