And Here Comes the Cold...

Farewell sun,
farewell warmth:
dusk slides between the juncture of shoulder and neck,
cascading shivers down hunched, spinal knobs,
each tremor dissipating within blood
such a dimmed and cooling red.

Hello night,
hello cold:
reminders of pain worm their way between each rib and lung,
compressed over fragile heartbeats,
which quiet as midnight's stupor encompasses each contraction.

thud. thud. thud.

thud. thud.

thud.


Moonlight streams through dusted blinds,
bent from fingers allowing sight to curious eyes.
Yet I hide within inky shadows, which devour—claim,
nestling in my chest and eyes, singing mournful lullabies
that ease loneliness in slow caresses, like silk laid upon the skin;
the disguised addiction of a hopeless addict,
the crime that tempts a repeat-offender...

was there ever any hope for me?

I'm not really sure about this one! Lately I've been feeling extremely insecure about my writing abilities, more so than usual!
A big thanks to all who view, comment, and/or favorite! It means a lot to me! :thanks:

This is beautifully crafted. Amazing job. :)

I understand what you mean about being insecure with your work. I'm the same way at the moment. What you have to do is say eff it, and write what your heart says. If you do that, the words will come out how you want them too. Eventually. And people will admire you for that.
