"Bitter Isolation"

Oh wow, the things you find looking through old poems you've written...


"Black Hole"

A void of nothing
In the bitter cold
Steals away
The days of old.

A lifeless man
In the smothering heat
Recalls the days
Of toxic defeat.

A soul in agony
In a grave of despair
Singes all the hope
He hoped to wear.

A kiss of death
In the dead of night
Stirs up thoughts
Of eternal plight.

A vile of poison
At the end of the day
Leaves memories lifeless
As they pass away."
