Darkened skies,
Gloomy thoughts,
A heart of stone,
A soul lost along the way.

Midnight rains come to
Wash away the sludge
Trapping thoughts
Inside this deep mire.

Yearning for a touch,
Any touch that will melt
The frost surrounding
A heart frozen in darkness.

Memories of sweet nectars
Nourishing a parched soul
Whilst sipping on a chalice
Overflowing with bitter wine.

Wistful longings,
For a life spent.
A life wasted.
A life of woe.
