Dark Rhyme (9/17/2024)

once upon a razor's edge

a suicidal window ledge

depression razed a fertile hedge

another soul from life to dredge

in vacant eyes, teardrops glistened

darkness wound through tunnel vision

silence bound, with none to listen

the scalpel drew a deep incision

as crimson flowed across the sedge

a bitter vow, a mournful pledge

depression razed a fertile hedge

another soul from life to dredge
