Darkness

By pl rage

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Afraid to live, not to die I sing a song of silence, my voice lost in despair In the deep of night I’m awake The day reversed, mirrored in life My heart closed to the outside world, an empty well deep inside Leave me in this dark pit, where no light shines on me I deserve no better The sun makes me bleed Small is the drop of hope, hardly noticed it resides in me Ignored for long, still it remains A curse, forever to stay, a teasing of false reprieve No hope should exist for me Long since I gave up my right, said my goodbye to day Beyond reach of living light, inside darkness I live my death No more I’ll bleed Written September 16th, 2001 © on Sep 15 2001 11:23 PM PST   0 • 1
