Sorrow Learns To Cope

 Petulance has no place

in healing grace.


Sorrow,

in her state,

 sees death take a bow to Wit,

 well lived.


She leaves me asking how can I give,

when abuse steals charity

from my hard working hands?


Petulance is scheming in his head

 as Sorrow Learns To Cope, alone,

with unfamiliar emptiness.


Unfamiliar- here am I, in between


nonsense and a daydream

of what used to be.


A life I can no longer see.


So death bids a bitter hello again,

gifting me a second breath

while I watch the exhales

of another wave goodbye.
