Misery loses context with every word
I sit in shadows waiting for hope to break in
And smiling seems so obsurd

We

Sorrow gains its motion with gravity
Keeps happy at bay with the utmost contempt
I sit here waiting, so heavy

I

Useless as the tongue so soft spoken
Darkness folds around me, useless
On my knees with my will so broken

You

Couldn't hear my each and every word
Regret folds into forget as you run faster
And chasing you seems so obsurd

We

Meaningless plans
Razor-tipped hurtfuls
Bleeding hands

I

Losing hope as I lose the light of day
You run so much faster than I do
And we both forget what I had to say

It's okay

Congratulations to your superiority
And welcome to your land of regret
I wish you could see how wonderful life could be
And I wish you chose not to forget

I loved that stanza as I did the whole poem it was all so well said. I love how it all just rolled off my tongue very dark, yet beautiful at the same time. I can't say enough.
