Relapse

Relapse by: Jack A.S. Dunce From all enjoyed sunshine came a darkness Out of nowhere, the blackness spread throughout All built walls crumbled to absoluteness The spirit balked and denounced a washout The clarity of the mind befuddled Shocked by the bloom of melancholy Outstretched arms withdrawn and all reshackled Fell back to the trenches of one's folly Once more, lying in bed curled like a ball Paralyzed by the whispers of despair Voice muted by the future's silent call Soul ensnared in life's perpetual nightmare The horizon disappears in the storm A lull before the return to the norm (c)pgmr
