Black Faerie's Gift
Oct. 7th, 2008 01:21 pmMy eyes sting
It's nothing
And everything
My words have dried up
Left me bereft
Just left
I'm here
But I'm not
Not even thought
I'm angry
But no way to speak
Anger's not what I seek
It's just here
Like I am
Grit and sand
Against my heart
Anger and depression
Neither good expression
It just sits
Eats me alive
Takes all my drive
This isn't my life
This isn't what I wanted
No wishes granted
But it's what I have
Black faerie's gift
Poor, poor shrift
I give it away
But it returns
Comes back and burns
Till I'm nothing
But a hollow bone
An empty stone
It's nothing
And everything
My words have dried up
Left me bereft
Just left
I'm here
But I'm not
Not even thought
I'm angry
But no way to speak
Anger's not what I seek
It's just here
Like I am
Grit and sand
Against my heart
Anger and depression
Neither good expression
It just sits
Eats me alive
Takes all my drive
This isn't my life
This isn't what I wanted
No wishes granted
But it's what I have
Black faerie's gift
Poor, poor shrift
I give it away
But it returns
Comes back and burns
Till I'm nothing
But a hollow bone
An empty stone
