unless they themselves are damned

under flickering candle lights
the ink slowly dries 
leaving between the lines
empty spaces where fragments
of my emotional state of mind hides
sometimes I drink too much to feel
for there are no heroes here…
just survivors
screams of yesterday once held back
turned to a silent shimmer of tears
there is no one who knows the sorrow of the damned
unless they themselves are damned

It has always been loss beside high celebration and praise and accomplishment. I stopped trying to figure out why and write instead. I wish you peace - Lady A -
