Despair - a Pantoum
I reach out to grasp emptiness,
Where promises were made
A frigid vacuum has replaced
I reach out to grasp emptiness
Icy fingers like shards of glass,
A frigid vacuum has now replaced
Assurances you once gave
Icy fingers like shards of glass
Await my attempts at escape,
Assurances you once gave
Have no meaning to embrace
Awaiting my attempts at escape
A glacial wasteland beckons,
With no meaning left to embrace
My blanket of despair feels safe
A glacial wasteland beckons
Where promises were made,
My blanket of despair feels safe
Concealed from full consumption.
My attempt at a pantoum. Inspired from "Let's Write a Pantoum" by Y!CN Contributor Renaissance Woman.
