Life Drain

Image

Life is a big drain.

A drain of all our hope.

Theres failure, death, loss, and shame

Its all one big soap.

We find our happy spark.

Even if its in the secluded dark.

its gone.

Why so soon?

Just like that, before waking dawn.

Still beneath the glistening moon.

You keep trying.

Running to catch it.

Slowly dieing,

you sigh and sit.

Gives in.

The hope you once owned is eternally lost.

Your heart feels of dense tin.

What was the cost?

My drain reaches deep and wide.

Full of feelings that cheated and lied.

I'm gripping the cold stone ledge.

Fingers slipping.

Yes I am going to wretch

as the dreaded drain is repeatedly dripping.

Wheres the hands to help

me out?

"Oh yeah", i shout through the drain.

and continue with, "Dead in a grave."

Both of us weren't saved.

Hope taken away

by every passing day.

My life spiraled down by an

evil drain.
