Failed lightbulb poem

Failed lightbulb.
Sat in the dark,
sat in the dark with a remorseful heart,
sat in the dark with a remorseful heart,
and crying one’s eyes out,
and wanting of this world,
to no longer be a part.
Failed lightbulb,
broken heart,
a relationship gone wrong,
a suicidal love from the start.
Oh, how you choose them,
you think to yourself,
in your misery,
and how you pull out your hair,
and how you wish to shoot an arrow at eros,
for playing his part,
his part in your broken heart,
and as you curl up in your ball upon the chair,
you do not care for the world,
for it is far too dark,
and even in the sun,
it will not warm your broken heart,
it will not warm your broken heart
and your tears will probably,
soon flood the room,
and for the world,
you will soon have to build an ark.
Far away
Far away,
you threw yourself into the ocean,
far away because you had had enough,
and the powerful waves they took you,
and they sent you to your watery grave,
and your life was taken away by the water,
that so often saves,
and I feel ashamed,
I feel ashamed that I could not do more that day,
and I feel ashamed,
that I was not there for you,
but I did not know of your pain,
because you did not complain,
you did not complain and the water it took you,
the water it took you away,
and it took your pain away,
and I will never see you again,
I will never see you again,
and the pain it remains,
the pain it remains,
and it aches in my heart,
how you ended your life,
and I am ashamed I did not know of your pain,
and in my eyes these days,
there are always tears,
when I think of you,
tears and shame,
tears and shame.
