    Poem Commentary

    There is something wrong with my writing. Lately, I've been despising it.

    the deadly kiss from a cruel sun
    The deadly kiss from a cruel sun
    punishes us, in a downward spiral
    into the cold breath of a loaded gun
    like we're criminals waiting for a trial

    Meaningless and depthless, I keep going on
    making up excuses for failures, losses and gains
    wasting words that are not even my own
    (silence will hopefully be all that remains)

    Things I used to dream about seem literal now
    as voices long forgotten seem to call my name
    I hope we never try to break this vow -
    we might as well believe it is all just a game
