![]() My Hollow KingdomA Poem by Draven
I stand in my empty house
With its empty rooms in the silence Which screams so loud I can hear nothing else. I've conquered it: my Hollow Kingdom, Void of the sounds of playing children, Starved of love and warmth and passion, Tainted by the pain that reverberates With every step I take. Such loneliness, such agony, Such longing for things that cannot be. Such blinding darkness, it's all I see. Such demons waging war with me. This blood I bleed, these memories, My hopeless thoughts, my broken dreams. The tears fall like the drops of a thunderstorm, Pooling around my feet to reflect my failures. This hurricane ravages my soul, Ripping apart the foundation of my being And shattering the windows of my heart. All my efforts gone to waste, Not so little, but far too late. The past with all its crushing weight Is trapped within the picture frames - A fate which I could not escape. Is this what it's like to die and still yet be alive? © 2022 Draven |
