The Words that Clothe Me

A concrete poem I made in Creative Writing class. It describes the feelings of despair the girl clothed in words felt.

Oh, how far my dreams went! How much I had dreamed!

How much I longed for that colorful world I imagined!

But how cruel the world is, how cruel is God

To tear all of my hopes from my grasp,

Thrusting me into an oblivion of misery

I notice the Angels retreating, is there no hope for this sinner?

I suppose I can never return to light

I suppose this empty, lonely void is my cage

But no matter the number of apologies I utter

No matter the repentance I face

No matter the pain my heart and mind endures, suffers

The sparks of light only sputter away

Then vanish once again

Away with the wind that carries my tears

And the words that clothe me with a comforting hush

-----------------------

And now-  -the string is broken

And so my dreams are lost

Drifting away with the wind

And my hope comes to

An end

Sadly, I couldn't make the picture bigger, so I decided to put the words below it so people can read them. I wouldn't have worried about adding the pic, but it's a concrete poem, so it needs to picture to accent the words and vice versa.
