Despair

And you follow, follow incessant
Your always there, always present
And you hide, hide in distraught
You silently prey, silently stalk

And you watch, watch and conspire
You never leave, never tire
And you tease, tease and play
You lead your way, lead us astray

Staying calm, appear composed
Your mind chases, you feel exposed
First the shock, then disbelief
Pensive conscience, bitter grief

You can’t stop it, it’s always there
Quietly immersed, in despair

And you tempt, tempt with hope
Your veiled desire, a veiled cloak
And you wait, wait your time
To take a breath, take what’s mine

Staying calm, appear composed
Your mind chases, you feel exposed
First the shock, then disbelief
Pensive conscience, bitter grief

You can’t stop it, it’s always there
Quietly consumed, in despair

Sorry about your “challenges” but sounds like it was fuel for another interesting SWR project. Thanks for sharing. Minor scales very appropriate.

[Fletch]

Prefer not to have the challenges Albert, but you’re right… Good writing inspiration… 😃

Thank You Sir… 🙏

You are the master of creating a mood… nice work here. I’m sure the writing helps push through the intense times. 👍🏼✌🏼

[Fletch]

You’re right Marisa… Writing is kinda cathartic… 🙂

Thank You… 🙏

Haunting; capturing a mood; it speaks. Well done (once again)!
