Lost amongst the vastness
barely holding on...

Crippling depression
kills you like cancer...

I fall short
of that prize...

This poem
Is long overdue...

A dormant feeling
can awaken...

The way you act
Can be likened to a child...

Pretty rose
Rebel of time...

In Autumn
the leaves fell...

It is only when
I see your face...

The gravity of your stare
Weighs heavy on my day...

I've tried to change
A smile painted on the mask I wear...

I know your ways
I too, am poisoned...
