Array ( [sid] => 38691 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Gray Skies and I'm Tainted [time] => 2004-03-15 01:28:53 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Sorrow curls its fingers around me
Despair grays my sky
My insides are burning into ashes
And my soul, it waits to die

Pain strikes me closer
Nails driven into my mind
Splintered are the thoughts I hold
And sought will never find

Splintered is my existence
Cursed is my face
Tears that drown me forever
And I echo out of place

Bleeding are my eyes
Blue and in despair
Hatred burrows into emptiness
And smile onto time never there

Mystery blends tomorrow
Clouded and live let be
Cursed pains that taint us
And these gray skies are tainting me

Paint my sky with color
Spill the extra on the floor
Blend with blood everlasting
And I'll stand still behind the door

Dirty sheets cover my mind
Stained beyond what will
I'm tainted with love everlasting
And I love it even still

Shroud of darkness spread over me
Close my eyes
Shadowed are my abilities
And here this inhibited pathetic body lies

Headstone blank and sorrowful
Drooping and concrete will stand
You've slipped away from happiness
And I'm still running as fast as I can

Oxygen has left my atmosphere
Water used up on tears
You've completed the puzzle
And assured all of my deepest fears

Solving problems always
Losing what we love to regret
I wish forever as the Wisher
Please let this Wisher forget [comments] => 2 [counter] => 199 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Exodus-On-Life [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

That was stunning and darkly poetic, I like the feeling of longing for closure that radiates from this poem. Well done.
