...Dying Embers of the Somber Soul

...Dying Embers of the Somber Soul

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeaGUfZM5hs

In the dire remembrance of a life of bile and spite
I cried finally, tonight
Human for just a slice of a second
My scorched humanity was beckoned
It’s not because I’m at my end
It’s not my fear of a life I didn’t spend
Can’t really fathom a reason for this lone tear
There is nothing I fear
Perhaps just a psychological tick
Of a human who can’t be fixed
I treat these final moments with disdain
Imagined going out in flames
Burning the bridges I should have never built
Walking through the blood I’ve spilt
Screams of those I’ve wronged
Echoing out a somber song
Here I am in a silent grave
Lost to the darkness from which they never tried to save


...My final work for awhile.  Thank you to all for commenting on my works over the years.

    I've been going through a lot & haven't had a chance to be as involved as I'd like. But I'm fixing that. I miss you my friend, I miss your personality. Why is this goodbye for a while? You're still my Sol! One of my homegirls. Take care of yourself if you're leaving.
