Withering life

This is my entry for the Challange. I hope you like it.

The void of pain widens as time passes
as dry as a desert plain
reflected against this vapid soul

The light of hope, that was once bright
now dimmed eternally, a mere flicker
eyes shimmer with unshed tears,
unfocused, unfeeling, uncaring

A voice no longer heard,
soundless as a distant mist,
and yet, cries out for solace
Coldness seeps into a heart left vacant,
it's hollowness echoes with each aimless beat

Dispair holds the soul imprisoned
it's deathgrip squeezing what's left of this life
desperately missing the familiar,
the comforting of your touch, your sound, your scent

Tugged forth from a broken heart,
tears of crystal blue slide unnoticed
drip onto the oceans cool, inviting surface
a hand waves to no one on the shore
no one sees the sullen eyes
as they sink evermore beneath the comforting blanket,
into the beckoning arms of the sea.


( The emotion is Anguish)
