Reaching to purgatory

Reaching+to+purgatory
Chloe Williams

My tiredness hangs around me like a disease. 

My soul slowly dying

My hope does not increase 

I have lost the energy for crying 

 

Demons ask to be let in 

The water, too thin and cold for a swim 

So I lay on my side, pondering over my sins 

Staring at the ripples, deaf to the whispers of the wind. 

 

I lay there like a corpse, my soul rots like one too.

Pictures to mind, lust over love

Little money in my wallet, won’t need it anyway

Throwing stones in the water, feeling like a loon

Thinking back, wondering what I could’ve

Waiting for dusk, knowing ever be okay

 

Heading up the hill

Feeling yonder there awaits

My purgatory
