Lassitude MAG
Midnight stars that drag along,
foolish man who sings heavy-hearted songs.
Flowers in the field - never to blossom,
ambitious dreams hidden at the bottom,
wonder turns to resentment, as summer turns to autumn.
Seasons of color, and days of faded undertone,
intangible scent of this cologne,
leaves me in a daydream of yesteryear,
I’ll keep living in this nightmare ...
until all my life disappears.
Too many times now,
I’ve struggled against the tide,
Too many times now,
I’ve had to listen to these lies,
Too many times now,
I’ve had to drown in my own cries,
these very tears,
I’ve shed for my own creed,
but I no longer have any blood to bleed,
and I’d love to believe,
that you’re no longer something that I need.
This oblivious angel rejects her wings,
and all her given prestige,
love is not a matter in which she is willing to concede.
These hands bare nothing,
as those worn eyes take in the dwindling bliss,
this flame withers into an abyss.

a sonnet is a 14 lines, each line is exactly 10 syllables. it is written in dactylic hexameter (i think thats what its called)...so it sounds like ba DUM ba DUM ba DUM, etc. (every other syllable is strong). Rhyme scheme:
A B A B C D C D E F E F GG
(a rhymes with a, b with b, etc.)
make sense? also, the description i gave you is for the most common sonnet, a Shakespearian sonnet. But there are other sonnets made popular by other writers so maybe Lassitude is in a kind of sonnet im not familiar with...
but this is a BEAUTIFUL piece of writing none the less!
"This oblivious angel rejects her wings"
Brilliant
this poem is really really well written. You did an amazing job and it's ridiculous how your words express my inner feelings about my life.
"But I no longer have any blood to bleed,
and I’d love to believe,
that you’re no longer something that I need."
Amazing line. I love it.
