The Plagued Soul

By Undertaker

Sitting upon a tall hill observing a young man on a cliff
With a hanging head, blank, standing motionless, stiff

The waves of the ocean bashed hard against rocks found below
While the sun was setting over distant blue, its brilliance did show

With a grin stretching ear to ear,
I stood there, these yellow eyes did peer

His heart speaking, echoes of dark memories past
Shattered mind sheered, blood filled veins pumping fast

Unforgotten flashbacks make for a grievous stake
Shoved strait into the heart causing this gruesome fate

a stone blocked future, and a bitterly sliced past
The loss of love, never meant to last

With no where to go
No hope left to show

The mist, incoming clouds touch gently, his hollow face
A bleeding heart, lost, the time has come, finish this race

Focused deep into the depths of the dark blue
This damned soul, misplaced, has no clue

My eyes set only on the sight of this man
Forbid to offer him a helping hand

Approaches the edge, head fixed on the sharp rocks below
A far distant ship horn silently beginning to blow

Former Clips overwhelming his dying mind
Plays prior thoughts, mean, brutishly unkind

With one foot forward, never looking back
Slips noiseless into the abyss that is violently black

    To be beyond all hope and despairing another tomorrow. Never been there and never hope to but this paints an accurate portrait of the many who have gone before. Very classy and I can only say one thing Unde, cheers!

    Indeed a very excellent write. You've displayed the unspeakable thoughts that have run through my mind quite well. Many was there a time I wish I could of had that dismal cliff to overlook.
