untitled threnody

By FadedBlues

untitled threnody

write me out like a sad poem

star-crossed lovers -
a romeo & juliet of dire circumstance
forlorn. abandoned in the ruins of romance

write in me the dismal, desolate streets
where sorrow is common & constant as the Mariah

compose me across brittle & faded parchment
let my blood run in shades of the loneliest blues

scribble me unedited in a haze of drunkenness
when I should have remained unwritten

take your pen & shape me
without rhythm, without rhyme
blank verse that labors to be heard -

call me untitled

    The gods are strange. It is not our vices only they make instruments to scourge us. They bring us to ruin through what in us is good, gentle, humane, loving..... O.W. ♡ blessings be always about you Mr Blues.
