My Heart Endures Starvation Poem by Shannon Wade

My soul thirsts
This intense feeling falls over me like a faucet
It trinkles down my souls cavity
Slowly it drains me
I seek outlets of escapes
Attempting to bury the empty dark thoughts presence inside me
Threatening my sanity
Sanity remains firm despite the blows that guilt attempts to present
I never knew
How saddness can peirce the soul
Until I looked into my eyes
The glow is lost yet I long to keep glowing
Feels like a dream I'll keep dreaming
I wonder
How long does it take to break out of confusion's prison?
Will my heart forever tie me to a stake
I still seem to know that second chances are present
When I look into my child's face
Reaching some form of peace and serenity still lies in fate
