Wasteland

It's sunny out, despite my face,
despite the waste.
Land of misery and twisted fate,
that is my skin from eye to chin.
Face, a salted ground.
Misery!
Pain that anyone could see,
despite the sun and warm spring breeze,
despite the flowers and bumblebees.
Warm to touch but cold within,
That's the wasted land my heart dwells in.
Bright and quick my smile might be,
but it's lying like the rest of me,
In the waste land of my life.
A grave filled with sunlight –
covered in flowers, adorned with grass.
A place to share a picnic.
But underneath that skin and bone, that pretty face, and happy home
lies a dark and lonely place.
A land of emptiness and waste.
A private hell that no-one sees,
built by devils and fantasies.
Of angels,
hopes, and endless need.
Which never grow outside the skin,
or see the light, or let it in.
And never will.
And never will.
For nothing grows in misery.
A wasted land
A land of waste
Final resting place.
