POEM : "Drops of Sadness"

Sitting in the dark
Moonbeams on my face
The arrow hit its mark
Feeling so alone; feel so out of place.

Desperately seeking answers but no one to ask
Life now sems to be an ill-burdened task.
Helplessly wearing my heart on my sleeve
Constantly praying that this pain would soon leave.

Drops of Sadness falling from my eyes
Broken dreams covering the blackened skies.
Wanting to run so far, far away
Wishing that Oblivion would greet the dawning day.

Thinking back on the time gone by,
Wondering exactly where things went awry.
Detesting that I just could not see
That I am the one who brought this affliction upon me.

Desiring so much to just move on,
Wanting so badly for the pain to be gone.
Hoping endlessly that I could just forget you,
Realizing at last, nothing you said was ever true.

Quietly questioning why it had to be me;
Did I really deserve your cold cruelty?
Sitting alone with my thoughts tearing me apart,
Why did you aim your arrow straight at my heart?
