My diary tells the story,
The pages wet with tears,
Of the many lonely hours,
And all the wasted years.
Once I wrote of youthful hopes,
Now my face is old and jaded,
My outer shell reflects my soul,
Where all my dreams have sadly faded.
Happiness was not predicted,
Not an aspect of my astral chart
Of love pains, Iβve never been afflicted,
But beats softly, my jaded heart.

This is beautifully written, as is all of your work. But I hope it’s just for use of the prompted words and not how you’re actually feeling. β€
