Enter The Darkness
​
A cold chill runs through me, my body quivers
As a light breeze picks a strand of hair,
Lightly resting it across my tear stained cheek
My heart crumbling to a dust, laying on my soul.
The brightness in my eyes faded to darkness
An emptiness falls, filling me with turmoil,
My heart screams out with a pain to not be hidden
Only buried deep within my mind, a forgotten past.
Daylight dims, a quietness creeps in replacing it
My eyes focus on the vanishing horizon,
As I hear the sound of rippling water on the shore
Turn like thunderous pounding against a rocky cliff.
A silent scream tears through me, as I curl up tight
Laying motionlessly, a soft dew settles on me,
Nature blanketing me in its tender solitude
Trying to console me, protect me from the searing pain.
Soft tears fall from my eyes, Scarring the rock beneath me
Sleep slowly taking me as I vow into the darkness
That love will never enter the caverns of my heart again,
That loneliness will be the only friend in my soul.
