Canvas [October 21, 2016]

A Poem by Dillan Courtright

Moonlight paints her face within the darkness
Shadows grasp her with a forgotten beauty
A silence nobody can hear without listening
Etched on a distorted canvas of blurred emotions

She haunts with echoes of her tortured misery
Suffering alone in the recesses of her agony
Nobody will save her, A nightmare within reality
An imagination of the horrors reoccurring for infinity

She exists only within the darkness of your soul
She is who you are, someone with no control
Emotions painted black in a world shrouded
The mist blanketing your mind until you drown

Velvet black hair that flows like invisible ink
Only your own reflection within her eyes you can see
The shining crystals drip like mirrors of emotion
Each drop containing her true undying devotion

And when you awake, you'll find yourself trembling
You'll see her face, but won't remember entirely
Within this endless waking nightmare you'll feel a forgotten fear
One day you'll turn around, and find she is no longer here
