Despair

This grin astounds me
Every tooth exposed
As if he is happy there
Entombed, yet escaped
Empty eye sockets glaring
Not hopeful, but unpained

And I breathe for her lips
As I stare into the sky
No stars believe my whisper
I am lost in this sick assurance
They have given up on me
Leaving my night complete
Like the touch of grave clothes
Veiling my face

The moon is laughter
Etched into my pain
A stalemate of my disaster
Scarlett whisper of what I am
The Sun cries at the sight of me
Rain only whimpers at my touch
Pariah that I am I fade into this doom,
Into despair
