changes

well guys i have been experiencing a lot of change and loss lately (maybe you've heard?) and i feel i just have to get it out and express my emotions to the internet at large about this terrible recent event. I feel the proper medium for this is poetry.

ANGUISH

the sun shines not upon my face
the wind stirs not the leaves of my heart
for me, there is anguish alone
my car has died

i left the dome light on
for days, parked upon the side of the road
and as i turned my key, i heard only a click
a chug
and silence
my car has died

rage and fury at what?
my own ignorance and abandon
for was it not I who left lit that accursed torch?
but still
all anger and scorn drift away upon the waves of loss
and what is left?
my car has died

tomorrow i will go out
i will buy a battery, and attach it
and maybe, maybe, my car will start
but who knows what tomorrow brings
all i can do is spend money and hope
that my dead car will revive
to carry this poor boy back home
or wherever he needs to go
my car will rise again

constructive criticism only plz
