Alan Garfoot- A Poem

Tormented Skies

Locked inside a caged beast, 

Tragic heart of fractured beat, 

Wont see no rest or have no peace, 

A being of lies, forgotten woe and defeat. 

  

Hope was lost a winter ago, 

The sting of self inflicted marks, 

Bleeding out into the snow, 

Tormented skies of a broken heart. 

  

Savor the void of a darkened rapture, 

Feel the darkness within your soul, 

Savage feelings and needy distractions, 

A torn self which will never be whole. 

  

As silent as the soul destroyer, 

Wretched lost and so afraid, 

A telling sign you shall never recover, 

The debt is due the mark was made.
