THIS TOWN I'M IN

It's a useless place, this town I'm in.
It's a sorrow state, this lonely kin.
The light fades out, the flag hangs low.
Oh Lord, have mercy, don't punish me so.

We live roughly a hundred of years.
How many in beauty? How many in fears?
Afraid to be lost in this wreck of a ship.
Afraid to find peace in the pain of a whip.

Clean up this mess before you go!
My eyes are bleeding your blood, oh no!
Dry them tears, dry them hard.
Watch your back, be on your guard.

Your blood has gone, and so have you.
I'm left alone, with guilt so blue.
I wear these wounds, this bleeding fear.
This loss of love, of you, my dear.

Oh Lord, have mercy, don't punish me so.
The light fades out, the flag hangs low.
It's a sorrow state, this lonely kin.
It's a useless place, this town I'm in.

Time to move poem me thinks DB? The title court my attention and I am glad it did, I must admit to not being a town girl, preferring the villages myself, towns can be so anon and lonely imo. Smiling at you, Tai

"My eyes are bleeding your blood, oh no!"

These lines are so full of compassion!
Dan, your poems always evoke a sense of very deep anguish and sadness in me!

((((((hugs to drive away some of those blues)))))

Welcome back my long lost friend!

Love xxx, Zoya
