This poem, has a combination of imagery and symbolism. Even though it is somewhat short, it tells a story. I suggest that the reader were to look at this with an open mind. Comments are open.

Dejected

 

In the cold

And dark

Room.

 

A man

Lays

On a bed.

 

He is quietly

Thinking.

 

The thoughts

Fill his mind.       

 

The water

From the

Broken Sink

Is running

Endlessly.

 

The only

Actual

Sound

In the entire

Apartment.

 

Things

Were easier

A long time

Ago.

 

Happier

They were.

 

Now it is

Nothing

But cold.

 

Things

Were never

Are never

And Will never

Be the same

Again.

 

The mother’s

Heartbeat

Was replaced

By the running

Water.

 

To just

Sooth

The man

To sleep.
