…
Ithe curtains billowed
a line of liquid sun bled into the room
insulting, judging
tools thrown astray on the old wooden planks
on them they laid, their work as their sheets
the wood was cold, giving no thanks
their pride scattered across the floor,
in the form of all they hoped to do
yet still they sleep and ignore
the sun shined mockingly
a sickening paint through naught but a sliver
blinding. hopeful.
the tiring responsibilities
from chores, to work, to life,
only made further hostilities
others could only annoy,
bother and disrupt,
loneliness was of more joy
the sun laughed
offering its hope unwanted
ignorante. blissful.
the unwelcomed bright crept through
into their bed of darkness,
sickening hope in an ugly hue
the light they never wanted
breaking their peaceful trance
the hope that swiftly haunted
at last the morning faded
the sun leaving with it, yet still,
insulting, judging
