I Linger in Sorrow
/I linger in sorrow
In the blackness before dawn
Hope exhausted
Inspiration expunged
Spirit drained
Without motivation even to examine
The roots of my despair
I tarry not on past offenses
Chances squandered
Opportunities un-pursued
For these seminal occurrences
Matter not in themselves
But are mere stones cast
Into the dark pool of gloom
Their ripples fading away
Producing no effect
Settling to the stillness of hopelessness
Being more than melancholy
Less than anguish
(For anguish would take too much energy)
Akin to heartbreak
As I stare tiredly into bleak morning
Overwhelmed by sadness
And linger in sorrow
