Fallen

When your darkness is stronger than the light you hold, and the only option left is to let go..

Forgive my manners, 

I came in before knocking,

But can you really blame me, 

I mean the last time I knocked you said nothing.

You lay lifeless trying to fight,

Whilst I prayed for your health,

Then suddenly I saw you stand,

Danced around in your hospital suite,

Looked skinny as hell,

But I presume it was baggy 

So just to believe what I wanted to

To grow my hope that you'd come back for me 

That someday you'd be back for me. 

But still some part of me whispered,

If it will be hard for you then,

You do what you gat to do. 

But still your shadow fell on me while you danced

And I felt a trickle in my spine

For I did not cry with my eyes

I stood on my feeble feet and wiggled round the room,

I lived in the moment,

To relish is remarkable right,

All hope was gone.

Even though you shone some.

Then you faded away like an exhausted candle light,

Then I realize you never really moved, 

My conscience was corrupting my weakest point,

Exploiting them.

You laid lifeless but warm still,

Already commenced a new journey to unknown,

You shut me so that I didn't even follow.

But you were my bad habit,

Always seem to break me to my core,

Even so I'm always drawn back to you

Even when you break me like you do.

I feel cold, 

You took the light with you,

No streak of light no more,

Not even a sparkle.

You were the toughest,

I always hid in your shadow,

Now that you are gone I'm exposed to prey,

I'll try my best until wherever,

I wish I would hibernate you one more time, 

Rest easy my consciousness-my fallen hero,

I'll try my best to hide in the shadows,

The shadows you cast on my subconsciousness.

I will always love you.

Thank you for this far.

I am old now. I have lost many mentors. They stay in my thoughts and I write about them. I speak their words now to my grandchildren dear poet.
"Rest easy my consciousness-my fallen hero,
I'll try my best to hide in the shadows,
The shadows you cast on my subconsciousness.
I will always love you."
I understand the poetry and the above lines. I have spoken myself. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry and your thoughts.
