-
Knotted inside,
from years of neglect
the fractured lines
will break and fall.
Laughter and cheer,
a welcome distraction,
failing what comes
when night bears down.
Now nothing more but
an empty fissure,
bottled up
and left to dry.
This swollen songbird,
this warbling fool,
forgets to eat
and fades away.

- Depressing. T.T it is good, though. Nice work. I like the metaphor with the bird.
