Lament

Everyday is the same

suffering and grief

darkness looms over me

bringing an overwhelming sense of fear
to the depths of my soul
The haunting shadows eat at my flesh

terrorizing me to no end

I want nothing more than to be back home
to be comforted by my chair
or to walk by the peaceful brooke
and think only of you

But I’m lost here

Lost in my own world of sorrow and dread

 

I am hopelessly lost in this world
unlike any other figment of my mind

It’s dark and cold

The harsh winds chill me to the bone

Beasts lurk through the forest
They snarl at my every move

I call out to you
but you are never there

I want more than ever to be with you
to be in the comfort of your embrace

 

But time has passed by
like water rushing through a raging river

I knew your love would never last

We will never be again

You left me here in this land of agony
to fight alone, all alone

You will never return
and I hurt so bad

I have lost the battle

I am losing this war

 

I am beaten and bruised
drowning in my own blood

I need you more than ever
Take away this suffering
Stifle this pain
Save me like you always used to
but I know you never will
I will spend eternity here
until I am dead and gone

I will be in this lifeless land
No flowers, no birds, no beauty
Just what is left of my tattered soul

I guess you won’t be saving me this time

[Mia]

Great job. You can really see the emotion and the power you're trying to write. Excellent job. I love it.

[Matthew Kult]

Powerful but sad. Very good read. Well done.

[Nat]

Very powerful. It really captured me, because I could truly feel you in the poem.

[Iota]

Parting ways can be devastating for both but usually it is worse for one manly the one that is left and not the one doing the leaving. It is hard to imagine a good life solo but it is of course possible and it doesn't take eternity just a will to find the light of day in oneself. Excellent write I really like how you brought this feeling to the top strongly.
