Canvas [October 21, 2016]A Poem by Dillan CourtrightMoonlight 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
