Wishing Well

by Melissa   Sep 5, 2008


I keep falling
in deeper water,
sinking like a desirous penny
to the bottom of your well
where pretty things
no longer thrive
and love is
a shade of gray

I'm swimming in the mouth
of murky dreams
and my heart
is no longer transparent,
she's wading
in a smutty film
of verity

how ugly

    Wow! How do you come up with this stuff? It's absolutely brilliant!
    I adore the opening stanza too, just awesome all the way around!
