Writing With Weeping Words

I thought I knew 
               what this life was for,
thought I could go 
u n s e e n  and  u n h e a r d-
        Used to quill with 
inspiration and more...
              now I write with WEEPING WORDS.

There was a time 
           when I felt the breeze,
r a c e  through my 
lungs with no FEAR-
                     Now I fall to my 
weakened knees, 
as I  g e n t l y  wipe 
      away a woeful TEAR.

See, I’ve become 
          this CRAZED introvert,
someone who needs 
              more  p a i n  to endure-
On the subject of loss, 
      I’m an expert,
addicted to hell’s 
s t r a n g e  ALLURE.
 
               When the crimson 
leaflets fall I  r i s e,
to see a day full 
               of bloodshed-
For I cannot take 
off this DISGUISE, 
     wearing a shroud 
of  a n g u i s h   instead. 

I’ve been to Kilimanjaro 
        and Tuscany, 
seen the  r a g i n g 
TEMPEST of The Keys-
               And that blustering 
storm always follows me, 
oh, when will these 
   g u s t s  of wind cease?

            Freedom to choose 
my path and  f u t u r e, 
       has been bound and 
chained by FATE-
I need a  t h r e a d  
and a loving suture, 
                  not a life full of 
SHAME and hate.

          A phantasm of a ghost 
l i n g e r s  with blame, 
my days of DREAD
and  t o r m e n t  have occurred-
                   Used to be someone 
with a famous name...
            now I write with WEEPING WORDS.
