Poem: "Losing"

"Losing"

Empty coffee cup
stale air of defeat
pride is failing
death is so inviting

Gone are the days
when we were young
and life was so full of
dreams and yearning

Life is a shadow
of misguided steps
not so carefully taken
stumbling towards
finality

Reaching out for you
so far away now
as I close my eyes
wishing to be taken

Giving up seems like
such a perfect escape.
