I should never have come, by Sarah Elizabeth Butler

I should never have come

Disappointment colors my bones

Calamity blends my words together

Waste desires are shed from my skin

Mis-trust is wrung from my hair

Flecks of failure now fill my eyes

Discontentedness clogs up my ears

I am overtaken by a fever of regret

My very soul is so sick from disappointment

That my body has become irrevocably altered by it

I should never have come

(2013)

Melancholy That’s all I feel now As numbness Travels Along my veins

Creativity Is an escape from a dull humanity Is freedom from the cage of mundan… From the ever-looping Monochromatic

The sky is black The stars that were In your eyes Are gone as well The dirt has turned to ash

Butterflies fly Away on the night towards better d… I was sad when they left Tears Welled up inside

Cold as the night Weary travelers sleep cozily The breeze carries sweet dreams Warmth Wakes with the sun
