A Sad Poem

His eyes were like the waves
A feeling of sadness and melancholy lying within
The music silently playing in his ears

He was a boy whose hope had long been lost
For time was like acid and his faith corroded with each second
With each breath he takes, he wished it were the last

His eyes, fixed on the night sky, shed tears
Not of joy of seeing beauty, but of darkness and despair
He turned the music louder for the thoughts had begun to raise its voice

His hand clasped his head as if holding him together
The boy was cracking like glass that had been dropped
His tears like shooting stars, each with the wish that the pain would stop

His breathing quickened as if he were running
His eyes blurred and out of focus
His mind was turbulent like a riptide

He was drowning, but he was the only one who knew he was
He couldn't breathe, but no one could see him suffocating
He tries to reach for light and life, but in the end, darkness dragged him deeper

He closed his eyes and let the darkness take him away.
His heart, pulsating like an earthquake, soon slowed
His mind, once turbulent waters, now at a dead calm

Was he dead or was he even alive to begin with?
He held his own hand, grasping onto the warmth long forgotten.
The stars know his pain as they fall ever so slowly on this lonely night.
