Depleted

 

Shards of thought cut deeply
through mind's soft flesh.

Memories flash
like bright, glistening blades
that reap a fervent whirlwind.

Keen words lance blindly
in mind's shocked silence.

Hope whispers,
murmuring irresolute meaning
in the face of a howling gale.

Time pares away shattered pieces
of a mind's wreckage,

leaves only vestiges
of vanished hope, love lost
and days forever gone.
