A Lonely Field

I am a lonely field adorned
With wilted flowers, leaves forlorn
So cold and dead, their petals torn
And drifting through the winter's storm
How absent the golden sun has been
A year below the horizon
The wind is thick but the air is thin
And death leers with a menacing grin.
The only rain has been my tears
That contain my pain and rampant fears
And the cruel words that have brushed my ears
And the end of my hope that is drawing near
I have tried to irrigate
Myself with words to heal the hate
But it's no good, and it's too late
The roses are dead and this is my fate.
