This one is quite recent. I wrote it a little over a year ago when my only real relationship was falling apart...or even already fallen. It has a lot of terrible feelings all wrapped into it. It capped off my whole depression after the break-up. It is nice to have this piece as a chronicle.
The title is referring to Queen's album "A Night at the Opera," where the song "Love of my Life" starts.
Queen Had It Right After Twenty-Nine Minutes
The clouds have rolled in
The sun has disappeared
I’ve searched for the way to be there
Have I been wrongly steered?
This is my plea
These are my desires
I want my sunny weather
I want my Blue Sky
The angels have escaped the heavens
The weeds have grown over the gates
I can feel it coming in the air
The world is upside down
I’ve waited two decades for you
I’ve waited four weeks for you
I’ve waited ten minutes for you
I’m done waiting
The happiness has drained from my body
This is my remainder
A mere shadow of a man
I used to be whole
Imagine this face never crying
It seems ridiculous
Imagine this face never smiling
A bit more real
Where does my heart belong?
Br oke n? Tor n ap art? Rip ped t o shre ds?
Is this what falling feels like?
A simple freefall?
My coffee runs cold
My cigarettes have burned to the filter
My heart is tired and
I pray for sleep
This is my plea
These are my desires
I want my sunny weather
I want my Blue Sky
You represent everything innocent
But I am the innocent one
Bubbles and cake have a new meaning
Do they belong to children?
The moon is eclipsed
It has never burn brighter
The sun has exploded
It’s beauty has disintegrated
This is my plea
These are my desires
I want my sunny weather
I want my Blue Sky
These clove shards cut my lungs
This drink is spiked
I bleed out
This drink is spiked
The dance is almost over
My legs ache but I continue to dance
May I ask this question?
It’s too soon
This is my plea
These are my desires
I want my sunny weather
I want my Blue Sky
(Is 300 hundred enough to tell how it feels?)

You're words are touching. They are, to say the very least, amazing. They touch a prodigious part of my soul. I may not know exactly the feeling or mentality behind them, but I do know that the words linger in my mind and they are overwhelmingly awe-inspiring. Please continue to post up more of these pieces. :)
