Darkened by no one

Eclipsed an emerging sun

Anthology, sins

Tortured, of a deprived soul

Hired to consume us all

Fun fact: each of the first letters spells the topic of the Tanka…

I have relapsed life

Connections are not sober

Nothing mentally

Emptied my bottle again

I cannot dry myself drunk

4

In the grasp of white

The chill finds its way inside

A linger of warmth

Subtle feelings of human

A frightful reminder, death

3

Lips pressing tight, sealed

Hands mapping out, discovered

Whispers so soft, moans

Being vulnerable, nude

Intertwined together, warmth

1

Passionately filled

Inching in slowly, loving

Quietly you moan

Needing me closer, you grab

Slowly I fill you, screaming

5

Do I get to cry

Am I completely broken

What is wrong with me

Forever seeing mistakes

Endlessly feeling without

Hang in there!
vegetablesalad:
@babyaries yea nothing will ever stop me. Just it can get very lonely and always seem like an uphill fight… I’m constantly drained.
5

Faithlessly devote

Religious desecration

Deathly tortured soul

Shunned by everyone on Earth

There is no penitent man

3

Forever an end

To begin again, timeless

Somehow things look up

Destination unknown now

Plans become discovered soon

4

I have become numb

Succumbing to being me

Someone without pain

Constantly having to feel

The never ending torture

4

Faith bleeds my soul dry

No conviction remains here

Undisclosed turmoil

Fighting my demons inside

Surrendering to their will
