Lament For The Damned
At 12:54 a.m. on 2001-11-24


A poem about depression..I had it for at least two years before I finally became happier for some reason.

Why can't I be happy

What's so wrong with my life

Wish I could lie, in a puddle & die

Drown in the mire

Get lost in the mud

Maybe then I'd feel something

More definite than unhappy & tired

Feeling almost numb now

Heart ripped too many times to repair

Screams won't do me any good now that I've lost all sense to care

Don't know what ever happened to make my life go so downhill,

Wish I'd had a life to get back in the first place

But, it was only my shadow of one

Wish I'd never met the human race.

Jaded Poet, Lonely in Company
. . . and a pen rests by the chalice, pull up a chair by this, the fire, drink long, the ink and wine are able, the script leaps from hand, into the pyre,
. . . yes, the bottle is half full, pull the cork and pour another, hide your eyes deep in the swallow, and we'll burn this script together,
. . . damn the feather, pour the ink, and let the ruin stain those lips, I beg and hope to share this hour, but those hands of yours, will never leave your hips.
By Jarday
