My Abyss of Grey

A depressing day

Alone I stand in a cold dark place,

As if I’m isolated deep in outerspace,

I know my acts were such a disgrace,

I simply long for a loving embrace.

 

Abandoned I wallow in my pitiful sorrow,

At times hoping that there is no tomorrow,

I think my broken heart is now so hollow,

What worse in this life could possibly follow.  

 

Forsaken I await in my abyss of grey

Pointless to express my grief as I pray,

How did my life become so far astray,

Hoping to one day see a brighter day.

 

Deserted in purgatory suffering alone,

My iced heart gradually turning to stone,

Over ages turning to dust in the wind blown,

No greater agony has a man ever known.

 

Godforsaken to languish for an eternity,

Doomed fate written in stars above a certainty,

Forever lost due to one’s own prideful vanity,

A lesson to discover life’s essential humility.

 

Forsaken I await in my lonely abyss of grey,

Pleading my forgiveness to He above as I pray,

Wondering how did my life become so astray,

Wishing to one day live a more blessed day.

Break out. It's there for you, but although I feel where you are, you're not showing it. This won't be a simple reveal, this will be your core. where is it? I read a few of your poems, they are all different. What is you voice? Think about it and write. Cheers.
