Hell's Border

I am grief,

the saddening burden

that holds

a hopeful heart hostage,

on the rigid plane

of despair.

Within my realm

of distress

resides the capitol

of difficulty and hardship,

where regret and denunciation

stroll hand in hand weeping.

My neighborhood

is in the county of sorrow

on the street of heartache,

Where all lament

mourning what they have lost.

Anguish and suffering

are my two companions

who visit on occasion

as unwelcome guests,

we are the necessary evil

to all humanity.
