It's the antithesis of 'Allure'. Also unlike Allure, which is free verse, I returned to rhyming, used a classic meter, and further challenged myself by making every line exactly seven syllables long. ^^ I don't know why, but seven syllables flows nicely.","content":"Forlorn\n\n(04/09/2018)\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nLie awake within my bed,\n\nBooks beside are left unread,\n\nTears run hot across my face,\n\nPining for a warm embrace,\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nDrowning in the loneliness,\n\nSink into the black abyss,\n\nDemons clinging to my back\n\nSpirit has begun to crack,\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nLying still until the dawn,\n\nWalk through life like frightened fawn,\n\nFriends and love I rarely had,\n\nMy frustration drives me mad,\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nQuiet whimpers are my plea,\n\nInjured soul cries to be free,\n\nPain that follows night and day,\n\nNothing more that I can say,\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nAll I have I'd gladly trade,\n\nIf the pain would only fade,\n\nIf you find what I have not,\n\nTightly hold what you have caught.\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Poetry","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/1356181-allure.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/1356183-farewell-my-friend.json"}}
