I decided to try and write something a little different than my usual poetry...this is the result.

Dark is the Night
by: Eric Fulmer

Dark is the night
Heavy is my heart.
The cold of winter has entered my soul
And has begun to fester there
Eating away at my essential being.
No longer is there joy in my life
No longer do I eagerly await the sun rise
For each day is but another repetitious nightmare
From which I can never awaken myself.
My dreams are become folly
My ambitions are in vain
For nothing can change the nature
Of each tortuous day though which I suffer
And nothing can save me from myself.
